Chris, I can answer one of those points for you. The $149 upgrade is the "full" version of Office X. Regarding re-installation that is something that I have wondered about myself, but have yet to confirm. I have put my "old" version on another partition that has some extra room for now.
Hope this helps some! -John- on 12/6/01 1:14 PM, Chris Stearns at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi Listers, > > I've been reading about update pricing for Office v.
