Yes, it will. And all the way up to the current verion - 2007. Office 2000
has services packs and updates - install them.

It has been reported that Office 2000 works with Windows Vista.
Later versions will work and are supported with Windows Vista.

If you are a consumer without a contract with Microsoft most support for
Office 2000 has ended:
http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=2484
That means there may be vulnerabilities and other issues that may not be
resolved.

My Parents Have Encountered Compatibility Problems With Windows Vista RTM
And Microsoft Office 2003, Just FYI. If Microsoft Office 2003 Does Not Work
With Windows Vista Correctly, Microsoft Office 2000 Probably Won't Work
Correctly Either, Just FYI

P.S. My Parent's Recently Removed 64 Bit Windows Vista RTM And Returned To
64 Bit Windows XP SP2 Due To The Compatibility Problems That Occurred With
Microsoft Office 2003 SP2 On Their Computer, Just FYI.

And why do your parents need the 64bit Windows OS? Are they into CAD or
Video? Just FYI. Maybe they are producing the Kevin Putzke Story with a
major part dedicated to the USPS? Just FYI.

Just FYI.

Maybe it is WHO installed the Office on THEIR computer. Just FYI.

For others it works! Just FYI.

Saucy is correct! Just to give add a link with official confirmation:

Description of the versions of Office that are supported on Windows
Vista
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932087

There is a small issue when using Outlook 2000 for Internet email on Vista;
you need to manually register wab32.dll. See steps described, here:
http://miniburb.wordpress.com/outlook-2000-on-vista/

And what Saucy said about Service Packs and hotfixes - again, totally
correct! Install them:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=EN
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Hope it helps,

If you already have it, why not try it and see? If it does not work, I'd
suggest you try OpenOffice.org. It will probably do everything you need
and won't cost a nickel.

Office 2003 and 2007 are both fully compatible with Vista. Office XP and
2000 are mostly useable, just don't bother with Outlook and you should be
OK.
