Word 2002 and Windows 7
It seems that Windows 7 will run XP software in a virtual operating mode. I
assume that means Windows 7 will not run XP software - including Office XP suite - natively. Am I correct? Buying all new software is expensive and this would be a good reason to not buy a new PC with Vista or Windows 7 pre-installed. Jeff

Windows 7 supports all versions of Office commencing with Office 97. No
'virtual operating mode' is needed. Daddy wrote in message ... It seems that Windows 7 will run XP software in a virtual operating mode.

Word 2002 and Windows 7
Most software that runs under Vista will run in Win7. Office XP runs in
Vista. The only current problem is if you use Windows Live Mail as your mail client, the Windows Live Add-in causes havoc with Office: so make sure not to install the add-in until we know it is fixed. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP wrote in message ...

Word 2002 and Windows 7
Thank you both. Appreciate the info.
I need a new laptop and have been holding off because I did not want to go to Vista or into the unknown world of W7. I've got all sorts of customizations in my XP and would hate to learn a new OS.
