Do Windows Vista and Office 2000 play nicely together?

Question

I am going to be buying a new machine, and the dealer suggested that I move up to Vista. I tend to get a lot of use out of Office applications. I currently have Office 2000 (which I use) and Office XP and 2003 (which I do not use).

Can I use Office 2000 with Vista? What about Office XP or 2003?

Thanks in advance.

For a lot of reason$, I cannot get Office 2007 right now.

Answer 1

Vista actually works with most everything if you know what you are doing. Learn the "Run as Administrator" command, it will be your friend in Vista. I cannot absolutely verify for XP or 2000, but 2003 will definately run in Vista, no doubt, I have done it.

Answer 2

You may have several issues when using Office 2000, most notably on Outlook. I can confirm that Office 2003 runs just fine on Vista.

Answer 3

Vista doesn't "play nice" with much of anything right now.. I dumped it and went back to XP SP2 for that very reason.. It is far too advanced for most programing. Since it is another Windows product... Office, might work just fine.. Vista, doesn't like peripherals though.................

Answer 4

Use XP or 2007, they have more compatibility
