Judith, It will be best that 2002 is uninstalled first. As the two have different contents. 2002 Pro has a Access, and Outlook, while the HS2007, does not.

Uninstall Illegal copy beforeinstalling legal one? Hi Listers, I purchased a 2nd hand laptop recently which had what I thought was a legal copy of Microsoft Office XP Pro 2002 [no disk]. Microsoft validation tool says it's not legal. I am going to buy a legal copy of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007, but do I need to delete the illegal Office XP Pro 2002 first or will it install over the top?

Thanks David, I have uninstalled 2002 Pro and installed the 2007 as you advised and all seems to be well, with the exception that I now dont have the Microsoft Office Toolbar that I used to have in the 2002 version. Would you know if there is any way of getting that back please?

Hi Judith Not sure you have solved your missing tool bar problem but if its the same as my older version, go to programs, in the list you should have Microsoft Office Tools, select that and theres an option to click on to bring up the tool bar, you can then drag it to where you want it on the screen and select Autohide or not by right clicking on it and select what you want on it Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) > Thanks David, I have uninstalled 2002 Pro and installed the 2007 as you > advised and all seems to be well, with the exception that I now dont have > the Microsoft Office Toolbar that I used to have in the 2002 version. > Would > you know if there is any way of getting that back please? > > Regards > Judith
