    Microsoft Office Word 2003 in Vista Home Premium x64

    Hi all,
    I just switched OS from XP Media Center 2005 SP3 to Vista Home Premium SP1 x64. I moved all of my MS Word files over to the new OS. Now I need to know if I can install my copy of 2003 Word on Vista x64 and have it run properly, and open my 2003 Word files. MS Office 2007 Home/Student comes with EXcel and PP which I would never use and would be a waste of money for me.
    Any information on this would be most appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jakeman97

    it should work fine. you will have to reinstall any office updates and/or service packs, though.

    kword,
    Thanks so much for the reply. I'll do it when I get home from Bike-Week.
