1. I lost Pro 2000 in a fire. My insurance company said I should check with
MS for a replacement. Is this true?

2. Will Office 2000 Pro work with VISTA? I lost two computers in the fire
necessitating replacement with VISTA computers.

Thanks

1. Microsoft will only replace retail copies HOWEVER Office 2000 is too old
for them to replace it. (I'm not even sure if they will replace Office XP
disks now.) Your insurance company needs to come up with the funds for you
to get Office 2007 - assuming you have replacement value and not actual cash
value. Cash value of Office 2000 is chump change these days.

2. I believe I've heard it works but with some issues. If you check the
archives of the Office.misc newsgroup, you'll probably find the information
you need.

You are not limited to Vista on new computers. Ask for Win XP, or buy a
computer wihtout an OS, get Win XP from eBay (make sure it's a legit
copy) and install it yourself. As for Word 2000, why stay with an
outdated word processor?
