Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition

[Guest]

Hello everyone,
I currently have a computer that has Microsoft Office 97 installed on it.
It has Microsoft XP educational as the operating system.

I want to upgrade to Microsoft Office 2003 Professional. Are there any
imcompatibility issues that any are aware of? It is a retail copy of Office
97 and so is the Windows Office 2003 Professional.

Thank you in advance for your time!
Doug

None at all. Make sure that you visit Office Update or the Microsoft Update
web sites after you have installed.

If you "update" some of your files in the newer version, they
might not open again in the later version

I know this is the case for Access, not sure about other files

If you never plan to give an Access file to anyone running an
older version, should be no problem... but read at...
