A lot of others have reverted back to 2003 also. I'm using 2003 now and don't have any desire to upgrade especially after reading the 2007 reviews. My needs tho are modest.
From: Hank Arnold (MVP) on 21 Apr 2008 05:19 I'd suggest, rather, that they user goes to Microsoft Update. This will download & install all windows *and* Office. update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate The compatibility pack is at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941b3470-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466&displaylang=en -- Regards, Hank Arnold Microsoft MVP Windows Server - Directory Services Christopher Muto wrote: > right. with office 2000, xp, 2003 you defintely want to visit > http://officeupdate.microsoft.com repeatedly and download/install all the > updates until no more are found. then search google for 'office 2007 > compatibilty pack' and follow the link to microsofts download page for this > utility. this utility will allow the above versions of office to open/save > documents that are in office 2007 format. but this patch should only be > applied after all other office updates. > > "Patty" <patty(a)iainttellin.com> wrote in message > news:1qkz5o4tgho08$.mglhvjnjt0b4$.dlg(a)40tude.net... >> On Sun, 20 Apr 2008 17:08:39 +0000, Dee wrote: >> >>> I am using Office 2000 on my Win98.

From: Christopher Muto on 21 Apr 2008 07:03 i find that with office 2000 and office xp you must use officeupdate.microsoft.com at least once before update.microsoft.com will pick up the office updates. otherwise i too would have suggested update.microsoft.com...

She didn't want that so I have forgotten the name of the add-on. Shouldn't be too diffucult to find if you're interested. Jerry

If you're forced into Office 2007 I highly recommend it. Otherwise, stick with Office 2003. I bought Office 2007 only because I could get it with a student discount. There are 3 things I find useful with the version of Office 2007 that I bought: 1) The calendar in Outlook 2007 is better. Time scale can be set to 60 minutes so in week view a whole day can be seen. Tasks with a date show up below the days, which is handy esp. because tasks can be moved to future days easily. Abysmal performance problems with the pre-release beta are gone and indexing can be turned off. 2) MS Access has a multi-value column ability. I haven't used this yet, but if I do use Access for anything complex it could eliminate some associative (many-to-many) entities. 3) I like OneNote 2007. Unlike OneNote 2003, each notebook is in its own file. It's good for a lot of things including screen clipping or easily storing text for future filing |
