I am curently using MS XP, if I install the free disk on the same PC will the two software suites "clash", is it safe to operate the two in tandem.

523113 2007-02-06 04:27:00 If the trial version of Office 2007 has Outlook 2007, it will "clash" as you can only have 1 version of Outlook installed.

If the trial does not have Outlook 2007, then it should "cohabit" OK.

In any case please make sure that you have a backup copy of all your critical data before loading the trial software.

523114 2007-02-07 11:07:00 I'm running XP and have just loaded Office 2007 (Trial as in PC world)
Haven't struck any problems yet but then I didn't use Outlook before so can't comment on possible clash.
A document created in Word has an extension .docx which I thought looked a bit peculiar and sure enough the recipient of my document couldn't open it.
There is an "out" tho - "save as" in compatibility mode produces the normal .doc extn.
It seems to load up more slowly than previously but I was only using Office 97

On install, you are given the option of removing the old version or retaining it - I retained it and it still works. I hope it remains so when the time comes to uninstall 2007.
Good luck
