From: smitty on 16 May 2010 13:34 I already own office 2007 Retail copy. I have had it installed on my gateway laptop for a few years now. I just purchased a samsung netbook with no CD drive. How can I install it on my netbook. I see no need to pay for the preinstalled version on the netbook, when I already own it. Can I download it from the internet to my netbook or is there some other way to install it without having to pay for another copy of it. Thanks

Try copying the disc to a USB flash drive and install from that. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "smitty" <smitty(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:574C9F2A-1D54-4A55-AE9A-596F5C284926(a)microsoft.com... >I already own office 2007 Retail copy.

USB external drives are remarkably cheap and work well. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not

Thanks The other methods (copy onto a usb device on another computer, network the computer across the network or purchase an external DVD player) also work but you may be able to download your version from http://www.microsoft.com/office/downloads/ if it is, as you say, a retail full version install and it matches one of the three versions on this site. Remember it is a large download and you will need broadband connection to satisfactorily download in a reasonable amount of time. |
