I have an XP Home machine with Office Pro 2003, also connected via cable
modem to the internet. I want to buy an entry level PC for my wife and
connect them together so that she can run the Office apps and connect to the
internet. Do I have to buy a new Office 2003 for her machine, or can she
just run setup from my machine when the network is up and running? Can she
just run ANY app installed on my machine? Is this functionality what's
commonly called 'file sharing' (in addition to data files, of course)?

Thanks for any insights,
UpRider
 
You need one copy of Office for each computer you want to use it on.
