How do I add Outlook when I didn't choose it the first time....
Posted by AaronREinvestor on November 18th, 2005


When I downloaded Microsoft Office onto my laptop, I left a few programs off
(like Powerpoint and Outlook). Now I need to use Outlook... do I have to
completely load the software on again? Can I just put the disks in and load
Outlook?

To install only Outlook over the existing MS office version, choose
custom setup and uncheck all of the other applications.Select only
Outlook and proceed accordingly.

Best to ask in an Outlook newsgroup. Here is a list of all MS
newsgroups: http://aumha.org/nntp.htm

You can install Outlook from the Office CD. Just insert the CD and follow
the prompts.
BTW the proper terminology is install, not download. Download is usually
associated with downloading files from the internet.

Presumably you *installed* it, rather than downloaded it. Microsoft Office
is commercial software for sale, and is not legally available for
downloading anywhere.

From add/remove programs find MS Office, click change, insert disk, follow
the prompts and choose Outlook.

Yes you can add the programs you want later using the cd. No problem.

It's certainly semantics, but I don't agree that it's nit-picking.What you
call something is important. Call something by the wrong name, and you are
likely to confuse the person you are asking for help, and get the wrong
answer.

One of the things people asking for help (here or elsewhere) often most need
to learn is how to describe what they're asking about. If you don't know
something's name, it's hard to ask for help with it. Asking someone "My
whatchamacallit doesn't work. What's wrong?" doesn't cut it.

Semantics is the subject which deals with the meaning of words. It is not a
derogatory term.

Ken

You have misunderstood my post.

Was not intended to be a derogatory slur addressed to yourself.

What I meant was "I" am nit-picking by raising the point that Office 2003
Standard Trial Edition is available for "download".

The semantics term refers to the point.........is a Trial Edition really
Office 2003 or not?

My apologies. I certainly did misunderstand your point.
