I always used Office 2000 premium and have always been happy with it.

And me scruff...but im finding more and more people using the newer version now, which can lead to grief opening things... I just hate the style of it.

Never had a problem opening anything yet.

Which bring me to my main concern with up-dates.

Will it open old files. Is it backwards compatible. :dunno:

Yes but not the other way around..unless you download the compatibility pack.

The compatibility pack is only for 2003, so no good for Scruff

So what would than mean with old word docs. Richie

Could I install 2000 on windows 7

Get the latest version and you can open the old docs, no problem.

Your 2000 version won't open newer file formats (docx is the file type now).

2003 can open docx, with the aid of a free download.

New office is better IMO. I use it daily, there is an inital learning curve but it's worth it......

Letters, accounts and general.

As said only use word and excel. and loads of pdf converting.

Spend about 30% doing accounts, and 30% pdf, the rest of the time is photo and forum.

I use word for drawing as well, unless it get too heavy then CAD.

Loaded Libre office on Daves advise, what a pile of sh*t compared to word. 1st download would load, 2nd load kept stalling, 3rd download I got to work but takes forever to load, 4th time I removed the lot.
