How to Upgrade to Microsoft Word 2007

Upgrading to Microsoft Word 2007
1. Insert your upgrade copy of Microsoft Word 2007 into the optical drive of your computer.
2. The installation window should appear welcoming you to the Word 2007 software. If not, use 'My Computer' to browse the contents of the CD and double-click on 'Setup'. Once the installation window has appeared, click the 'Next' button.
3. Decide whether or not you want to keep your previous version of Word. After the installer has detected it, you will be given the option to remove your older version of Microsoft Word entirely, or keep it around in case you want to use it for any reason. Select the option you desire and click 'Next'.
4. Click the 'Typical' installation button and input your personal information and the product key. This key will be found on the packaging that your copy of Word 2007 came in. If the installer complains that your key is not correct, make sure you typed the key in correctly.
5. Click the 'Finish' button after the installer program has completed installing Word 2007 to your PC.
6. Launch Microsoft Word 2007 and click the 'Activate' button on the welcome screen that appears. Word will activate itself over the Internet. If you do not have an Internet connection, select the 'Other Activation Options' setting and follow the prompts depending on which option you choose. Once Word is activated, the software will be ready to use.
