Thanks again and I knew that one can install the sub sets applications as
chosen.
I called her in Boston now and she found where she can un-install programs,
but when it came to MSOffice 2003 it showed no sub-categories where she
could un-install an application, only ALL of MSOffice 2003. Of course
neither she nor I are familiar with VISTA and are used to Windows XP, so it
is hard for me to check this.

Any ideas?

If she had the install disk of VISTA I guess she could revert back to
Windows XP, right? Or must it have been installed at one time or another
first?

In Windows XP I could follow her and what she is doing on my own computer
here in MD.

Thanks for the help so far.

She was visiting here from Boston until yesterday and I saw both. That
is,
MSOffice 2003 and MSOutlook 2007 on her laptop. So, apparently it can
happen.

My question was to her (and she did not know the answer) WHY they did not
install the whole MSOffice 2007?

MS Office is a suite of components, one of which is Outlook *IF*
installed.

Outlook is just one component of Office or can be obtained separately.

Having MS Office 2007 installed does NOT mean that it included Outlook
2007. They may have installed Office 2007 but omitted Outlook and kept
the old Outlook 2003 that was there before.

You can pick which components to include in an install of MS Office, so
you can choose to NOT install Outlook in that suite.
