How to Install Microsoft Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003

Microsoft Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003 is a specialized suite that Microsoft distributes to schools, students and teachers at a lower rate than their other Office suites. It includes Word 2003, Excel 2003, Outlook 2003 and PowerPoint 2003. Installing the suite is simple once you have obtained the installation CD. Because it is for certain groups, the Student and Teacher Edition is only available through select venues: university and colleges bookstores, some online sites and Microsoft.

Things You'll Need
