Quick MS Office Question

Do I need to have the original discs to install upgrade versions of Office 2007 or simply a validated registered version of the software on my computer?...

You have to have a previous verion in order to install the upgradable version of 2007. I wish it weren't the case, as it would make building new clients much easier for me.

From the way you worded the question, it sounds like the version of Office is already installed on your system. Are you saying that your machine came with a validated version on it originally but it currently is not installed on it?

Thanks for responding. I am saying there are fully validated versions of Office 97, 2000 and 2003 on all the computers in question but I don't have the actual original install discs. This is for my wife's small business (not the owner, but she is the COO). All her installs are legal but the Office Manager who was in charge of the software upkeep recently left the company and no one knows where the discs are. They want to update to 2007 and I need to know if I can just order the upgrade versions or if I have to order full versions. Thanks for the help.
