Reinstalling Microsoft Works Suite 2006

Question

Micro. Works Suite 8.0 2006 and Word 2002 add on were preinstalled by Dell. I have a 5 disk set that Dell sent for these programs.   I plan on deleting them via add/remove programs before adding Office 2007. My question is can I add Works & Word back on the computer via the disks above if Office doesn't meet my needs? I don't want to be left with no alternative.   Thanks for your help!

Office has Word anyway, so your only dilemma might be whether you can install Works or not.

Best thing to do is have a look at the 5 CDs in Windows Explorer and see what's on them. It should be obvious if Works/Word is on one of them.

I have a the Works 8 CD but it is only one CD and does not have Word.

Delierious, I have a set of 5 disks for Works Suite 2006 which includes Word 2002. I guess my real question is whether these five disks will reinstall what was originally on the computer if I deleted it all to use Office 2007. From your response I assume they would reinstall everything. Again thanks.

Yes, Office 2007 will run under XP and Vista. You were fortunate to get Word bundled with Works, my disc did not have Word.
