Yes but there will be glitches - primarily with Outlook remembering
passwords...

They will, but they won't be able to read ms office 2007 documents.
OpenOffice.org will.

They will with the 2007 compatibility pack installed......

To a certain extent. As long as there's no fancy formatting or tables, then
yes, I agree.

You have a reading comprehension problem? He was asking about MS Office and
probably doesn't give a **** about Open Sores Office which is about 10 years
behind Office 2000!


You keep using Open Office because it's free and you can't afford MS Office.

Above is convertibility pack for Office XP, and Office 2003, to read Office
2007 docs, etc.
Other info, and link, there about Office 2000.

And in Office 2003, Outlook remembers the passwords in Vista.
Office 2003 works fine with Vista

I thought that too until today. I updated one of my daughters computer
with OO3 yesterday and opened a Word doc that was a very heavily
formatted form with tables from a hiring company. I was very surprised
to see that OO3 opened it perfectly.
