Word 2000 and Windows Vista
A KB article is currently being prepared, but the gist of it is:
- Office 2000, Office XP, Office 2003 and Office 2007 are supported on Windows Vista. - Office 2000 and Office XP have entered Extended Support, and will not be updated to enable them to work better on Vista. So while these versions of Office are supported, there will likely be some issues. Both Office and Windows did test those releases; so they do run on Vista. - Office 2003 will have another service pack. So there will likely be some fixes in SP3 to address some compatibility issues. - Office 2007 includes some feature enhancements specifically for Vista, and is the version of Office that will work best on Vista as it has seen the most testing on that version of Windows. Office 2007 will have the best compatibility with Vista. It has been reported that you cannot use Office 2000 with Outlook 2000 in Vista. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne
Thanks for your information. The problem with Outlook 2000 was the reason I have asked the question. I do have the programme but it is not used. In any event one can use Vista Mail, although I have no understanding whether this will offer a better or lesser service than Outlook 2000. -- Regards.
