Install Office2003 help please?

[John Prophet]

Ok, I am building a comp for a girl..she has bought office2003 Pro academic edition.

There are two disks. The second one is "Business Contact Manager" disk...."for microsoft outlook 2003"

(I wondered whether even to install outlook at all, but I did anyway)


What is this second disk for and should I install it??

Personally I think Outlook 2003 is the best email client I've ever seen.

Well with the whole Business manager thingy...my rule of thumb is that usually whatever I put on someones computer ends up being something they eventually call me with questions about, lol.

So I am not going to install it, lol.

JP,
You may want to re-think your decision if your client is looking for something beyond a simple email program. Outlook '03 offers an address book (exportable to Access '03), personal/appointment calendar, ability to set reminders, create task lists (alomg with reminders), integration with a variety of PDAs, and a lot of other neat stuff. I could see how a student, or educator (vis. Office 'academic' version), could take advantage of these things.

Well, I meant I would install outlook but not the extra gay stuff..business manager stuff. She isnt a REALLY advanced user anyway...she is taking some college classes and some of it concerns publishing so they told her she needed office2003 pro....then they told her she needed an XP computer. (hehe, I am glad they told her that!)
