I have a 3-year old G4 powerbook with Office x.1 on it. I have the CD
for that version of Office.

I'm buying a new dual-core notebook, which is scheduled to arrive in a
couple weeks. I need to run Office 2004 on the notebook.

Question: can i install my old version of Office on the new laptop,
and then buy an upgrade version of Office 2004? That would be a lot
cheaper than buying the full (standard) version.

thanks,
gary

You don't need to install the old version you can point the installer to the
Office CD to install the upgrade....
