I don't have, and don't intend to buy, a copy of Office 2000. What I have is Works Suite 2000, and as far as I'm aware, you can install Word 2000 only by installing the entire Works suite using multiple discs.

Word2000 is all on the first disc of Office 2000 & it is easy to install from the USB stick. Yes, netbooks can come with a restore disc which is particularly useful if you happen to erasse all the onboard memory for whatever reason. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" wrote: >

An alternate route to loading programs onto a machine without an optical disc drive is to offer the material via a USB pen flash drive. If one loads the Word disc into a standard disc drive on a computer and goes to 'My Computer' and left-clicks on the icon for that disc drive, then right-clic

I knew they would get the bugs out of it, so I just used XP (also Mac OS 10 for other apps.) Glad to hear the newer Windows is good. OffWorld --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com , TurquoiseB wrote: > > My new laptop arrived (a new low-power Acer Aspire t
