The difference is with Microsoft Office 2003, XP, Professional etc, you get Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Publishing etc. depending on the Office package you purchase. However, the one constant program between the bundles is Microsoft Word. It is included in all bundles that Microsoft issues so if you want to take a class on MS Word 2003, you should be fine applying what you are learning to your MS Works Word program as they should be relatively the same.

According to Microsoft, even the 2006 version of Microsoft Works Suite has Word 2002 not 2003. http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=001 Paul -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kym Lister Sent: Sunday, November 05, 2006 10:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [GEN-COMP-TIPS] GEN-COMP-TIPS Digest, Vol 1, Issue 81 Rita Barfield wrote: >I am very confused. > >I have today enrolled for H P online classes in Word 2003 starting shortly. > >However, I can't find Word 2003 on my laptop.
