You are replying to a thread from May--over four months ago?

But since you did reply, no it's *not* a myth. *Many* people run
Office 2000 successfully under Vista. There is an issue with Outlook
not saving passwords, but other than that, it works fine.

If you say that's your experience, I believe you, but it is *not* the
experience of the many thousands of others who use the combination
daily. You obviously have something wrong in your setup that makes
this happen. Do not make the false generalization from that to "it's a
myth that Office 2000 Pro will work with Vista."

OK. Enjoy your ball points. If you don't still have your old green
eyeshade, you may want to buy a new one of those too.
