My new 17" Powerbook arrived today and I am trying to install iWork from the DVD. When I click the Install button, I keep getting the following message:
"You cannot continue. There is nothing to install."
What's up with that? My new PB shipped with a trial version of iWork, but I trashed it before installing the full version off the DVD. What do I need to do?

budster, that was a lot simpler than I thought it would be. Installing the full version of MS Office "seemed to" require what Buck did-trash the trial and install clean from the CD-and that worked fine, but I wonder if the disc key/serial number from the full version would have had the same result without the hassle.
I should add that this was on a G4/800MHz iBook in January '04, and the "full version" of Office came from a MS "campus-level" licensing agreement-which may have a bearing on what would and would not work.

The trial version of MS Office is separate from the real version, and must be trashed first. The trial of iWork is like shareware, needing only a key to unlock. There's nothing unusual about either approach.

Well at least we didn't spent a lot of time doing something that didn't need doing.  Just out of curiosity, is this discussed anywhere in the documentation for iWork or Office? I didn't find anything about it except how to buy Office online-and definitely NOT for the price I bought the educational "campus level agreement" version of Office for!

When I bought iWork, I just used the key on the disc to activate the license already on my computer and ran the updater. Worked great. That's just how it worked out for me.
Office I cannot speak to. I've never owned a copy of that program.

I have a pages question:
I like to view the documents with the layout view. Is there a way to customize the startup to always show the layout view?
