| 67370 | 2002-08-01 09:54:00 | Hi guys, I would just like to check something before I go and buy a second hand copy of office 2000. Ok, I have a new computer that is running windows xp and since office xp is out of my price range I am thinking about buying Office 2000. I have never installed an office suit before and would like to know this, since my current computer has outlook express 6 and office comes with outlook 2000 (i think) will this be installed over outlook express 6? I want to keep outlook express 6 installed and all I want to install is word 2000, excel 2000 and power point 2000. Can I install these programs each separately or do they just all get installed when I install office 2000. |

Outlook 2000 and OE6 are completely different pieces of software - OE6 is just based on Outlook. Thus Outlook will not overwrite any of OE6, and you can quite easily run the two of them side-by-side. > I want to keep outlook express 6 installed and all I > want to install is word 2000, excel 2000 and power > point 2000.

Office 2000 is fully configurable - you can install as much or as little of it as you want. HTH Mike. |

In that case which would be better to use, OE6 or Outlook2000? |

It depends on what you're used to, and what you want to use it for. Just for email, if you're used to using OE6, then stick with it. Outlook 2000 has quite a lot of other stuff besides emails, eg diary/organiser, journals, calendars etc. etc. and can do *some* advanced email stuff. If you just want email, then you may as well just stick with OE6. Mike. |
