Installing A Workstation > Installing Basic Software > Office Suite
There are three version of Microsoft Office Suite: 97, 2000, and 2002 (XP). For licensing reasons, what version of Office to install depends on when the Gateway workstation was bought. Generally,
Office Suite with Gateway workstations comes as a two-CD set that includes Word, Excel, Outlook and Publisher. Everyone gets Word and Excel. Nobody gets Outlook or Outlook Express (we use the more secure Lotus Notes). Publisher is installed only for those who have used it before.
Each two-CD set has a product key. For Office 2000, it's on a separate currency-like sheet of paper. For Office 2002, it's on the cardboard envelope the CDs came in. Have that product key ready.
These instructions are for Office 2002; Office 2000 will be similar.
When the installation is done, you will need to restart your computer.
