| | Installing Office 2003 Is it alright or not advisable to deinstall Office 2007 on a Hewlett-Packard PC with Windows Vista Home version so that Office 2003 Professional version can be installed for a few months? After that time period, Office 2007 would be reinstalled. I have heard pros and cons. Is Vista Home incompatible with Office 2003? THANKS for any input. |

But why downgrade from Office 2007 to Office 2003? If you're creating documents and sending them to friends or collegues, and they can't open them because they don't have Office 2007, then you can always set the default file format to compatible .DOC or .XLS formats. If you go back to Office 2003 anyway, you'll need to download and install the Download details: Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats so that you can open and edit documents created in Office 2007. |

I consider myself an Office Power user and have no bad experiences on any of the 6 machines. (The other 5 are XP). I'll be upgrading soon. No particular reason. -- BobF.

But why do you want to do this? If it's because of the new default formats in 2007, like docx and xlsx, be aware that although it defaults to those, you can easily save files in the old doc and xls formats. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
