Should I get a new office product or can I upgrade? Office XP will work with Vista but Outlook will have a problem, it will not save your email account information and you'll have to re-enter it every time you close and re-start Outlook. The only workaround I know of is to leave Outlook open as long as your machine is turned on. NOTE: Since Office XP is no longer supported this problem will NOT be fixed by MS. http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/vista.htm -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://blinkynet.net/comp/uip5.html |

| | Re: Vista and Office XP Office XP is no longer supported by MSFT and you will no longer receive any updates for it. Neither Security updates or Hotfix updates.
