MS Office 2000 small business loading

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

X I purchased Word Perfect for my new Dell computer thinking it would simply
replace MS Word from my old computer. Then, I discovered that recepients
couldn't open my Word Perfect attachments; so, I loaded my old MS Office 2000
onto my new computer to get the MS Word program. Now, when replying to or
forwarding emails using an Earthlink email program I am prompted to install
the MS Office 2000 disk to get the unavailable features I require. After Xing
out or closing a couple of windows, I am able to reply to or forward the
email normally. How do I stop these prompts?

Jim,
If you do want to keep the WORD application loaded, you need to use the
"CUSTOM" install featured on set - up of the Office 2000 disk.
Once you are there, check off all of the components you want to work without
having to use the disk ... it's fairly self-explanatory as you browse the
settings.
