Document Volume

For large numbers of files the Full versions are essential. Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint (regardless of version - 2000, 2010, XP, 2007 etc) all have memory leaks (bugs) that cause them to crash after large numbers of documents, and they crash sooner with small numbers of very large documents. For this, the restart capabilities in the Full versions are absolutely essential, especially if you plan to run the replace task overnight or over the weekend.

Local Drives

Local drives are disks connected directly to the computer the software is installed on, such as C:, D: E: etc. A mapping or subst of a network drive to a drive letter is NOT a local drive! A UNC share such as \\server\share is NOT a local drive
