I have Windows XP Home, and have set up user accounts for all family members.
I then installed Office Pro 2003 on my login - but it's not availanle to any
other users!
How can I make it accessible to them without loading the whole lot 5 times
over?
 
Steve, from each user account go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11. Then rt click on each exe file
Winword, Excel etc and chose send to desktop as shortcut.

Steve, you should have seen a screen during setup asking if you were
installing for just the current user or for all users. Did that not appear?
If no, I think you can run setup again and take that option. Check with the
folks in the Office newsgroups to be sure.
 
Sharon,
Yes this option appears on almost all new MS products, Office2k3
included. It was most surely prechecked "For Current User" or "My Profile
Only". A simple solution is to reinstall, choosing "Custom" install and
making sure "For All Users" is checked instead of the former.
 
Thank you all for your help!

Steve.
