Hi Nikki,
Thank you for your detailed instructions re the download of Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Student.
Everything went well and each of my programs is working like a charm.
While I did remove version 2007, I opted to leave Office 2003 (full version) installed, as I have a Publisher App and a Front Page App that I'm still using to upload to two Web sites I edit. So far there is not a conflict.
I also ran Microsoft Updates and received 27 on the first pass and 14 on the second pass with zero on the third pass.
Many thanks for all your help. I've recommended evaluesoftware Web site to a few friends and associates at my senior community Computer Club for which I'm the Webmaster.
