Vista - Windows Vista and Office 2000 standard

I am going over to Vista:
Is it possible to use Microsoft Office XP Standard in Vista?

Thanks for any kind of help.

Yep but you gotta run it in "compatibility" mode.

Anytime,

Your header says Office 2000. Your post says Office XP (2003). Which is it?

Um, XP is Office 2002, not 2003, There *is* an Office 2003 though :-)

LOL! To add to the confusion, Office XP is Office 2002, not 2003. ;-)

Of course I mean Office XP Standard 2002.
As I understand it will function in Vista in "compatibility" mode.
Thank you all for your help.

If you're not using Outlook it will *probably* work OK. You know it's
not supported so the Outlook bug won't be fixed and there's no help
from MSFT but if you do need help, try the Office newsgroups, there's
quite a few people trying to run Office XP in Vista.
