The above is definitely not the case. Please understand that Office 2000 is
not a certified product that is guaranteed to work properly on Windows
Vista. The recommendation is either you upgrade to Office 2003 with SP3 or
Office 2007. If you can't do that, the only guaranteed workaround is to
install a compatible version of Windows in Virtual PC 2007 running on
Windows Vista and install Office 2000 with the latest updates on top of it.
