download the clean1k utility" is related to dell and then you will have your
answer.

Dear Bill.........and Bill.........

You're both right. The intent of my original mangled response was to
agree wtiht Bill (Ghrist's) response that MS Office Home and Student
would likely be the best (and least expensive) MS Office solution per the
OP's post. I was only trying to provide another option (as unattractive
as it may have been in providing Outlook).

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.......

I have Office 2003 Home and Student and it does indeed have Outlook.
If I remember correctly, it just doesn't install it by default. You have to
tell it to.
Also, I think it does allow up to 3 installs. I don't know about other
versions though.

would be no use to me if I couldn't use it on both computers and I don't
want to pay for two programs.

The Home and Student version of Office 2007 is licensed for up to three
computers (not for commercial or non-profit business or government). It
has Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and One Note (not Outlook).

2007 does not. Additionally it breaks the spell check in OE6 ~~~~~~~~

Bill, have you seen Office 2007? Microsoft mangled the interface.
Unless someone needs something very specialized, like Excel pivot
tables, Open Office might be the better alternative.

(Here's a link to a good product that enables classic menus in Office
2007 -- http://www.addintools.com/english/menuoffice/)

Microsoft has other calendaring programs and other e-mail programs.
It's hard for me to keep them straight:

- Windows Calendar, the calendar in MS Works, is there a Windows Live
calendar?

- Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail?

I usually sign up for a class at a local community college which
qualifies me for discounts on MS products which might be something to
consider if you want or need another license or two.

In Office 2007 I do like:

- Outlook's calendar which can have 60-minute time intervals and
which can show to-do's below the appointments on a weekly calendar
(makes seeing the whole week easier and shuffling tasks around very
easy).

- One Note 2007 is an excellent program. On some Mac forums people
have been asking if there's anything as good as One Note on the Mac
platform so that says a lot.

- MS Access can't, for me at least, be replaced by an open source
alternative. There's too much of a time investment in a database
program that keeps me in the mainstream.

Word and Excel, for me, are replaceable, but not for people who use
VBA scripting.

So, whether one can replace MS Office depends on a lot of factors but
for most people I think Open Office is a better alternative than
Office 2007.

Dell sells computers. Windows computers. Microsoft makes Windows.
Microsoft also makes Office. Office runs on Dell computers. Most
people need office software. Next question ...

I don't know about current versions, but up to MS Office 2000 Pro anyway
you are allowed to install a single license on your laptop and desktop.


Which brings up another point. For the most part the biggest
increment of innovation was with Office 97. Office 97, arguably, is
better than Office 2007 (at least the interface for Word and Excel).
So, if one has licenses to older versions of Office, they may want to
skip Office 2007.

The clean 1k utility used to be on Dell Resource CD's. The OP makes no
reference to Dell. I at least mentioned that I have a Dell PC.

LOL (to those that didn't like my opinion weeks ago) ... It's not
always so black and white what is or is not on topic. When Dell
sells hardware and software, the line gets blurry.
