Sorry Peter...since I don't have Windows 95 installed anymore and haven't used any Lotus products since my old helpdesk days, I don't know why you had a problem with the Lotus Suite and Office on Windows 95....I know I DID have that setup on my old laptop when I did remote support for the helpdesk company I worked for and I had no problems running that combo. I even ran Lotus Notes and Outlook side by side without problems.
So far, the only software I have seen that can cause major problems with Office is Adobe Acrobat, which installs add-ins to Word and Excel so you can create pdf files from within these programs. And, that problem is not universal...just in some cases and I really don't know why it happens, except that when the addin tries to load when you open the Office program, it often gives people error messages and makes the progam un-openable. Hey Peter...I didn't think you were criticizing my capabilities and I don't often even mention that I am MOUS certified....I only mentioned it in this case because I was replying to a post that said you can't enter 25e5 into a cell that is formatted as text and have it displayed properly. I was just trying to show that I have a bit of experience here and use all the versions of Office....I wasn't blowing my own horn or bragging and I sure hope it didn't sound that way ;-) Many people in the field of Office support do indeed install multiple versions of Office on the same drive/partition, but, in my experience, it causes too many problems and headaches so I prefer to put the different versions on different drives or partitions, but that's just my preference. I am fortunate to have enough computers and partitions to do this...others aren't so fortunate.

Having been employed in support capacities before I have found some certification holders who simply wave their paper around like they are the gift from the gods to the end users, usually to the end users chagrin unfortunately. Perhaps you've met the type who won't support a user unless the user does use the latest everything and that all of the users questions are yes or no based only. You are not in that league what so ever. Do you happen to have a list of software known to be problematic with MS Office? I know Lotus Smart Suite 97 when put on the same partition as Office 97 (base install) was problematic in windows 95, I still have a few win95 users I support with both of these apps (on separate partitions of course :) Peter Kaulback ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
