Hi there folks,
Need some help please. At the moment i have microsoft works and have got a lot saved through this, but i can't open a lot of peoples things because they have office student. If i load office student on, will it corrupt works, or will it stop me from opening my things on microsoft works at all. Don't want to put it on, if i will lose being able to open my documents.
Thanks for your help.

Hi, You can open works docs in office(Home & student 2007) no problem, but if worried you can have works and office installed at same time, I had both for a while but recently uninstalled works as I hadn't used it for 18 months. Use office all the time.
