If you are happy to buy the Office Pro then install that and use the Licence key that comes with it.

<div>
If I install Office Pro, how do I get Office Pro on without screwing up the existing installation (i.e., macros, etc.)? Do I uninstall Home &amp;&nbsp;Business and then Install Pro and have all the old settings intact? Or do I need to use a different set of steps?

You may be saying this and I am too dumb to understand, but:<br />
<br />
Are you saying that if I just install Office 2010 Pro over an installation of Office 2010 Home &amp;&nbsp;Business then I will end up with an Office 2010 Pro installation with all settings, macros, etc. intact. The user will not see any changes other than the new features.
</div>


<div>
With Office Pro &nbsp;you are just getting extra programs/applications.<br />
<br />
I wouldn't expect to see any change to your existing applications; Excel, Word etc.<br />
<br />
Office Pro adds Publisher and Access to the applications and I think it adds features to Outlook but can't be certain on that.

I have a user with a working install of Office 2010 Home and Business on Win7 32-bit. She wants to use Publisher 2010. What is the easiest way to make it available to her without her noticing any other changes (macros, dictionaries, etc.)?<br />
<br />
I have seen legit copies of Office 2010 Pro available for not much money. Is possible to just &quot;rekey&quot; her existing installation to get a pro key in and turn on Publisher without screwing up Word, Excel, Outlook?<br />
<br />
Is it possible to re-use the old key once I have her on the new one?<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />
<br />
Yes, I know that there are more current versions available, but I am not interested.
