Yes. It works just fine. I'm not an Office expert, though. If you want to
get the opinion of Office experts post in one of the Office newsgroups.

Office 2003 will work with Vista, but in my opinion, when you can get Office
2007 for $139, its well worth the upgrade.
 
There is one minor incompatibility. It's of no consequence, really, but
it's still a flaw.

After loading and updating Office 2003 for Vista, if you're into using the
"office assistants" under help, you're stuck with only one: the paperclip.
If you try to change paperclip to one of the other assistants, you'll get an
error of "not enough memory". I was fortunate enough to "stumble" across a
"fix" on David Overton's blog:

Again, it's not a significant issue; nonetheless, it is an issue, minor
though it may be.

It bothered me because I enjoyed using the "cat" as my help assistant on
WinXP Pro, but couldn't under Vista. Minor frustration.

Other than that, everything in Office 2003 works fine within the Vista
environment.

Take care,

Stick with Office97, that works fine with Vista.
 
Yeah, I forgot about that... I never use the Assistant.

The other tweak is you have to open one of the programs as Administrator
once and accept the EULA, else it keeps popping up.
