• Can I install my Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 that I used on a new computer that I will be buying?

  I have Microsof Office Professional Edition 2003 that I used on my computer.  I want to get a new computer and I was wondering if I can install it on my new computer.  I have the disks to install, with a product key on the back of the package.  Is it safe to use on the new computer since it's always my computer?  In addition, this version is compatible with Windows 7?  (I used it on Windows XP).  Thank you!

  Hi DorisDowd,

  It seems that you have a retail copy of Microsoft Office Professional 2003. According to the license terms, it can be installed on a primary device and a portable device at a time.
  You can look here: http://www.microsoft.com/About/Legal/EN/US/IntellectualProperty/UseTerms/Default.aspx

  So yes, you can still use it on a new computer if you do not buy one. It is also certainly compatible with Windows 7. Visit the Compatibility Center Windows 7 here:

  I hope this helps.

• Can I move Microsoft Office on my new computer?

  My old computer is fried and I need my Microsoft Office programs in order to finish College and I need them while I'm working. Is it not possible for me to place them on an external hard drive and move them to the new computer without problems? (I'm not made of money and can hardly afford to my new computer let alone to buy programs all over again)

  Hello ForsakenSora,

  You can physically move it to an external drive, and then install it on your other PC unless you downloaded the copy of Microsoft Office. If it was preinstalled on your PC and that you purchased Office then you should have a disk with office on it provided by the PC manufacturer.

  If you purchased a retail version, here again, you should have the discs and you can install it on their part. You must have the product key provided with the software number in order to activate the office.

  There are versions of programs running free indeed similar to Office. An example is that openoffice (www.openoffice.org), at the request of that Office is completely free to download and use. It will also open documents created in Microsoft Office.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• install new computer office 2003

  I bought a new HP p6142p computer and want to copy and move my Office 2003 to it. Will someone please tell me how to proceed? I have MS Word version 9 and when I reopen it a word doc it will be blurred to the point of being useless.

  You must install Office 2003 and your new computer by using the installation diskettes. Do not try to copy on.  There is also a settings file Office 2003 on your old computer (search in the Office 2003 menu) you need to move to a folder on the new computer.  After you install Office 2003, and then open the settings of Office 2003 on the new computer and import the old settings file.  Now, all your Office program settings will be just like those on the old computer.  Then, you have to go to the Microsoft Office Web site and get updates.

• You need to install MS Office Pro 2007 on new computer after motherboard crashed on the old computer.

  I have a license for MS Office Pro 2007 (US only) (OEM) that came with a new Dell laptop.  The motherboard on the computer crashed and I bought a new computer (Dell no).  Of course, I can't uninstall Office from your old computer.  Can I use my existing license to install/activate the Office on my new computer.  The new computer has the trial version which allows 25 uses.  My product key does not work because it has not been uninstalled or disabled (I guess).

  Your product key does not work because you can not use it to "move" from an edition of the trial and because it has already been used (on the other system).  You must do it manually and I do not know the manual process for Office products.  As an OEM license, I do not think it can be moved to another machine - but if this applies to operating systems, I am not sure that it applies to the Office products (I've never had this issue before).  It may be perfectly fine once you uninstall the trial and download the appropriate version of Microsoft.  You need to ask the experts.

  Please repost your question in the Forums Office: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/officeinstall/threads where specialists in office wil be more than happy to answer your question.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• MS Office 2013 does not work in the new computer

  Our new computer, optiplex 3020, came with MS Office 2013; However, we have never been able to use all of the Office components.  We still get an error, for example. Microsoft Word has stopped working.  A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.  We can see the document in the error message.

  Maybe we need to register the product, but how to make a page to save it?

  You can try to remove the normal.dotm template file. This may solve the problem:

  Quit Word

  Press Windows key + R

  Copy and paste the following text in the field:

  %USERPROFILE%\Application data\microsoft\templates

  Press the Enter key

  Find and delete the Normal.dotm file

  Restart Word.

  If this does not work, try to maintain the CTRL key when you start Word. If Word starts, you have a bad component loading snap. Let me know and I'll post instructions.

• I'm considering buying a computer with Windows 7. Is there a driver for my Canon Multipass F50 printer? I have Office Professional for XP - can I load office software on the new computer with Windows 7?

  I'm considering buying a computer with Windows 7.  Is there a driver for my Canon Multipass F50 printer?  I have Office Professional for XP - can I load office software on the new computer with Windows 7?

  Page drivers Canon MultiPASS F50 & the downloads shows nothing for Windows 7 (or even for Vista), so I doubt that it works.

  Microsoft Office XP is not compatible with Windows 7.  Office 2003 and Office 2007 are.

  I wish I had better news for you.  :-(
