Sorry - brain lapse there. Forgot it was a new PC.
Don't put Office 2000 on it if you have Works *Suite*. You can run multiple
versions of an Office app but they need to be installed in order of release.
I would also suggest you do some homework. There was a problem with Office
2007 breaking Works. I don't know where that stands right now. It might have
been corrected in the released version but maybe not. Search the newsgroups
archives first.
