Most things in Office XP should work fine. I think there are a couple of
things that might be a problem, like a "print to fax" or similar option.
(Printer drivers have to be 64-bit, so any old built in printer drivers that
were specific to Office won't work. But I don't remember which, if any,
Office XP had.)
That being said, Office XP isn't supported any more, and I don't think
you'll be getting security updates for it. Plus I don't believe there's a
compatibility pack for it to handle the Office 2007/2010 file formats, so
you could run into some issues there if someone sends you a .docx file, say.
But they can easily change the output format to use the older file formats,
so that's not a big deal.
