Does Word / Office 2003 work in Windows 7
Can anyone tell me if Word / Office 2003 works reliably and stably in Windows
7? It is time for a new computer, and Windows XP is generally unavailable on the new computers and I simply do not wish to spend the time to learn a new set of menus in Word / Office 2007. As a general gripe, the biggest benefit of Windows over the years is that the menus were always similar between Windows versions and most of the programs that ran on Windows. Re-arranging the entire menu structure for no reason seems more like a move to discourage upgrades rather than promote them. -- Thank you, John Gregory |

Yes, Office 2003 runs just fine in Windows 7.
When you get the new computer, if you're keeping your current printer, check the printer manufacturer's web site for an updated driver. Word doesn't work without a default printer. I won't argue about menus vs. ribbons. Some people are happy with ribbons, others hate them. I use both interchangeably -- I have Word 2003 and Word 2007 running on the same machine. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
