I just kept the old version and installed the new version. There was no problem keeping the old version installed 'just in case'.

It's a pity that each new version takes away really good functionality, just to make it like the Windows version...

Hi folks.

I was a little concerned that Microsoft are stopping support on 10 October for Office 2011.

So after much searching I purchased Office 2016 Home & Business on eBay from Lenshop in Mt Waverley Victoria.
It was a download complete with Key Code and only cost $105.00.
Beats Officeworks price of $157.00 (which was next best I could find & is only Home & Student edition).

All seems to be working fine.

I had planned to uninstall 2011 before installing 2016.
Which I am told is the best way to go about it.
There is a long list of instructions to uninstall but looked worth while to preserve drive space.
But I was not game in case the 2016 download and install failed.

I have now deleted my Office 2011 folder and the Microsoft User Data folder. But I am not game to delete any other associated files in case they are critical to 2016.

Regards,
Stephen Chape
