Yes - but the experts in an MS Office newsgroup would be able to give you a
more comprehensive answer. You are currently in a Windows newsgroup.

Student/Regular MS Office 2003 - the products themselves are not different -
the licensing is.

If you create a document in Office 2007 (any Office 2007) and send that to
someone with Office 2003 and you did not *save* rthat document in the older
format - but the native Office 2007 format - the receiver may have a
problem - although they can get past many of those issues by installing
this:

Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007
File Formats
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941b3470-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466

Although there still may be problems - so it is best - if you know someone
will get ahold of your document with an older version of Office - to save it
in the older format (Save As, choose a different type.)

The other direction (2003-->2007) should go smoothly.

As "Shenan Stanley" wrote in his post, downloading and installing the Office
Compatibility Pack for Office 2007 File Formats, will enable your Office 2003
installation to edit and save Word, Excel and PowerPoint files in 2007 format and be
able to open documents of those types created by Office 2007 applications.
