Which bring me to my main concern with up-dates.
Will it open old files. Is it backwards compatible.

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.
