Which version of Microsoft Office
I've just bought a PC with Windows XP. I need to upgrade Microsoft Office (I
had Office '97). Can anyone confirm that to have a version that will run and send/receive emails I'll need Office 2003? Can't get a straight answer from the shop I go to and I don't want to make a mistake. Cheers. Peter

If however you don't have Office 97 any more, then unless you /absolutely/ /need/ Excel and Word and the calendar functions in Outlook , there is no need to buy any upgraded MS Office product at all. There are plenty of free alternatives which will work just as well for the home user. Outllook Express, Eudora and Mozilla Thunderbird (the latter of which has a calendar you can install) for free email clients, and Open Offive if you need a free Office suite that is similar in function to MS Office 2002.
