I have a licensed copy of Microsoft Office XP for Students and Teachers.
It's time to upgrade my computer, and I'm wondering if I need to update my MS
Office suite as well. Will Vista run the XP version of Office?

thanx so much

Yes. But, Outlook will not remember email passwords.
Every time you close Outlook and then reopen it, you
will have to enter your email passwords again.

Also, be sure to apply all Office XP service packs and updates.

Then install the Office 2007 compatibility pack.

I have grown to like Office 2007, it does take some getting used to.
Once you do, it really is a great product. However, IMO, Office 2003
was really good, too. Office 2003 is faster in many ways on Vista
compared to Office 2007. But, Office 2007 has features I've come to
appreciate and use.

I presume your XP dated 2004. I do have one on one of my partitions. I think
the Office is not a part of it. You must have purchased it separately. It
must be office 2003. I presume you may try to install it on Vista after you
set the OS up and running. From what most people are saying it should run
with perhaps some minor glitches.

You may perhaps want to upgrade the Office to the Office 2005 or even 2007,
I believe the latest version is, for a nominal fee, especially if you still
have eligibility for that type of software.

And why in the world, you schizophrenic, need a password to read email?

Where did you get it? Kind of funny? Had a bad dream? Or a bad trip?

Wow. Your depth of ignorance just keeps getting
deeper and deeper.... a bottomless pit of unknowingness.

I almost feel bad laughing at you... almost.

Are you for real?

The more recent versions of Office are;
Office 2000, Office XP, Office 2003, Office 2007 and Office 2008 (Mac only).

Outlook 2002 is part of Office XP.

WTF is Office 2005?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office

Please, STFU already.

To the OP- Rob, for your benefit, do not listen to
anything that fruitcake AlexB has to say. He is wrong
and wrong on so many levels.

Oh, look AlexB has learned a new word. cretin, because he finally looked at
his birth certificate.

Now, read this carefully and be very very humiliated, embarrased and
ashamed. You are talking about the 2005 version of Visual Studio Tools for
Office...NOT Visual Studio Tools for the 2005 version of Office.
THERE IS NO 2005 VERSION OF OFFICE, MORON.
