Hi

I'm planning on upgrading both my OS ( to OS X 10.4.1 )
and my Office ( to 2004 ) at the same time.

I'm planning to wipe my drive and update everything from
scratch. My question is regarding updating the Office
Professional installation.

Will I need to install the earlier versions of Office and
Virtual PC to make this go? I own Office X and Connectix
Virtual PC 6 and have purchased the Office Professional
upgrade. I'd prefer to not have to install the earlier
versions if I can avoid it.

Thanks

Claude

You won't need to install v.X. When asked for a previous version, put
your v.X installation CD in and point to that.

Thanks, I was hoping for that rather than an extra install

man o man i'd like to know the answer to that question ? i know a patch
is coming from MSFT, they did a press release in Jan saying they'd
support spotlight....and that was the last anyone heard of it. its also
really annoying how word sometimes hangs you get the spinning wheel of
death - and also how entourage mail doesn't index on spotlight.
