Great ... your solution worked. Actually, all I had to do was uninstall Home
and Student from the machine. It was installed on there along with the
Professional version that I installed.

I never even looked to see what was installed on the laptop when I bought
it, I just installed the software that I already owned. I had no idea the
two versions of Office could coexist on the same computer.

Thanks again!!

Did you UNinstall the Home and Student trial first?

I've got Office 2007 Professional. It is installed only on my Main PC and on
my laptop. It has been activated on both machines.

So .... why am I seeing the "Microsoft Excel non-commercial use" message at
the top of my screen?? How the hell do I get rid of it???
