Will this version of Office work with Vista with no problems? I am
especially concered about the address book in Outlook from what I've read.
Thanks.

Outlook doesnt have an address book, it has a Contacts list, which in
certain instances can be displayed as an address book.The Contacts list is
contained within the outlook.pst data file
The 2002 problem in Vista is that the account password is not retained.
There will not be any MS fix as 2002 is out of support

Don't buy Vista if you want to save money. Otherwise, buy Office 03 or 07.

Vista came preloaded on my (Dell) system. Very little choice about this.
OK, 03 or 07 it is. Tks.

Chances are you will experience some problems, esp. with outlook, but
try installing it outside of the Program files folder, that fixed alot
of problems I was first having when I installed it. Post back and let
us know how it works out.

On Vista it's 2003.

I can vouch that everyting else (MS Office 2002 XP Pro -- Word, excel,
powerpoint...) work fine with Vista. As I have never used Outlook, I
cannot comment on this. Try ThunderBird (2.0.0.9) is all I can recommend.
