Mac Forum / Applications / MS Office / April 2006Upgrade to Office from uninstalled Os 9 software on Intel Mac.
I have a new Intel Mac and an old version of Office 98 that runs in Os 9. Since the Intel Macs do not support Os 9 emulation I can't have the previous version of Office installed on my computer when I install an upgrade. Will this be a problem? Does the upgrading software require the previous software to be already installed on my machine or can I ugrade knowing my previous serial number? Or do I have to buy the full version of Office? Thanks, If you install Office 2004 (or v.X) by dragging the Office folder from the disc onto your hard disk, you will be asked for your previous Office installation the first time you run any of these applications. At this point, you should insert your Office 98 disc and point the verification tool to it. I've never done an upgrade, so I can't give you the exact details, but no, the previous version does not have to be on your hard disk when you install an upgrade. You will need the disc it came on, though, and you might need the registration key. Someone who knows more about this might be able to give you some additional info.

If you have only Office 98, I'm afraid that you will have to buy a copy of Office 2004. SignatureBob Greenblatt [MVP], Macintosh bobgreenblattATmsnDOTcom |
