Word 98 or 2000 for Vista
Can I install on VISTA an older version of Word such as WORD 98 or WORD 2000 ?
I am finding WORD 2007 too complicated. If this is possible does anyone know how much this would cost and can it be done direct from the Internet. Thanks Cazo |

Word 98 or 2000 for Vista
Word 98 is an Apple Macintosh version, so it will not run on Vista.
Word 2000 will run on Vista. Word 2000 is no longer available for purchase from Microsoft directly. Word 2000 was available for purchase as a standalone program, as part of Works Suite 2000 (and maybe Works Suite 2001 too if there was ever such a thing), and as part of Office 2000. You might be able to find one of these titles at online vendors, but be careful not to buy from a pirate website. You cannot legally download Office 2000 from anywhere on the internet.

Thanks very much for that - a lot of things I didn't know. How can I tell
if a Website is a pirate website ? I appreciate your help.. Cazo "garfield-n-odie [MVP]" wrote: Word 98 is an Apple Macintosh version, so it will not run on Vista. Word 2000 will run on Vista.

Any Word processor that you are unfamiliar with will be 'too complicated'.
Word 2007 is easier to approach than earlier versions. It is only familiarity with those earlier versions over many years of regular use, that gets in the teeth of those who adopt Word 2007from the standpoint of a power user. Without that background, 2007 is probably easier to learn. I have had it installed alongside Word 2003 for a couple of months, and while I remain annoyed that I had to relearn something that was second nature, I now find I use 2007 for most of my regular work. My productivity is slower (but catching up), but the application is logically laid out so things are not too hard to find. I would persevere as this will be the way forward. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Cazo wrote: Can I install on VISTA an older version of Word such as WORD 98 or WORD 2000 ?

If it's offering an older version of Office, especially as a download, it's
probably an illegal version. Or if it's real cheap - the red flags should be waving in front of your face. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Cazo" wrote in message ...
