Thanks Suzanne, but I am getting this error: The Patch could not be opened.
Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it or contact
the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Patch
Package.

I have saved the exe file to my computer and run it from there.

Thanks Mary, but I am still getting the same error. I downloaded the Windows
Install Cleanup - deleted MS Office 2003 -- reinstalled it and tried to run
the compatability exe file again. Any other suggestions?
