 * 2) Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
 * 3) Click the Works Suite program that you want, for example, Microsoft Home Publishing.

Note If the installation type can be changed, there are separate Change and Remove buttons. If the installation mode cannot be changed, there is one Change/Remove button.
 * 1) Click Change.
 * 2) On the Welcome screen, click Next.
 * 3) Click Change Setup Type.
 * 4) Click Next, and then follow the instructions on the screen to change the installation type of the program.
