    Office 2003 and Vista

    I have loaded Office 2003 on Windows XP to my new laptop with Windows Vista.
    I get a message that vista is not configured for office 2003. Is there a
    way to make it work?

    Office 2003 should work with Vista. There are separate newsgroups set up for
    MS Office, I suggest you post your question in this one:

    microsoft.public.office.setup
    http://www.microsoft.com/communities...c.office.setup

    Since the innovation of Vista, I have run all the Office 2003 functions perfectly. I have not noticed any incompatibilities

    Until you can resolve the problem, you might want to install
    OpenOffice.org - it's a free download and quite compatible.

    Go to the microsoft download site and download the updates for office 2003
    for Vista.
