Janet. MS Office Professional does include Outlook but the format has
still changed. I bought home and student version for my laptop and it
had a three month trial. I just started using Windows Live Mail and
although I like the older versions of Outlook, I can work this one and am
learning the finer points as time passes.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

discussion very interesting as I have been trying to figure out what to get

have decided to go with what is out there now and XP won't be supported in a

have said, it takes getting used to and after a while it will feel more
normal. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>
