I'm not _planning_ on installing the software more than once. But when I do regular backups of my HD, I don't back up my applications themselves, just my documents, Microsoft User Data folder, etc. All my applications are easily re-installed from the CD's, so I don't waste CD-R's on backing them up (unless they've been significantly updated). In the event of a HD failure/catastrophic crash, I may need to re-install all my apps again. This is why I was asking, to see how complicated the procedure would be with Office X. It sounds perfectly simple. (Case in point, I don't have a backup of Entourage with SR1 applied to it.) Thanks to all who offered their help. -- CMS -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To search the archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
