No I do not have a clone of my old SL HD. I am trying to reinstall all from scratch. But I do have my up and running Lion with Office. I will try and drag and drag across to the new build. I am puzzled because my install disk (Office 2008 Upgrade) runs to completion but falls over on the serial numbers - it will not recognise any of the earlier DVDs as valid. Severin Time for bed now, back into battle tomorrow!
