My new Windows 7 computer arrives soon, and it will include Microsoft Works
9.0. I intend to replace Works with a copy of Office 2007 that I separately
purchased.

I will uninstall Works before I install Office 2007. Is there anything else
that needs uninstalling, for example an Activation Agent? Any special tips
for ensuring a clean uninstall of Works 9.0? I'm hoping to avoid problems
when I install Office 2007.

Thanks for your advice.

Daddy

There is absolutely no problem keeping Works 9 and installing Office
2007. I have done exactly that on my Win7 Ultimate.

If I were you, I would keep it because it does not interfere with Office
in any shape or form.

It will likely also contain a Trial version of Office 2007. Uninstall
the trial version AND the Activation Assistant, first. Whether you keep
or uninstall Works matters not.

Actually, there will be no trial of Office on my computer.

I'm uninstalling Works because 1) I'll never use it; and 2) I'm not
installing an Upgrade version of Office, so I don't need Works for a
qualifier.

Does Works 9.0 have an Activation Wizard?

Don't know, you could ask the folks in the Works group though.
