Is Office 2000 compatible with Office 2003?
If her instructor said she needs 2003, then she needs to ask the instructor
whether or not she can use 2000. Depending on what she's taking, she may need the 2003 version. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "sevalds33" wrote in message ...

Is Office 2000 compatible with Office 2003?
Office 2000 and Office 2003 share the same file formats so if it's a
compatibility issue she should be okay. If it's just for class notes and such I doubt she needs it but if it's a class on Office 2003 that includes functionality added in Office 2003 then that's another story. If your mom does find out if she needs Office 2003 then since she's in school she's likely to be eligible for the Student and Teacher's Edition which is lower than the upgrade price: http://www.microsoft.com/office/edit...y/student.mspx Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

If the teacher says they need Pro, she may need Access...or the teacher may
be clueless. I still think the teacher needs to be contacted for the correct answer. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Beth Melton" wrote in message ...

Is Office 2000 compatible with Office 2003?
"sevalds33" noted "her teacher said she needed Office 2003" so
apparently contact was made and why they are asking about compatibility. If it's a matter of needing Access, then if the file format is Access 2000 (which is the default for databases created in Access 2003 and Access 2003) then that's not a problem either. As I noted, Office 2000 and Office 2003 share the same file formats and the Access 2000 file format can be shared between Access 2000 through Access 2003.

Is Office 2000 compatible with Office 2003?
I'm just wondering if the mother is taking some sort of classes in the
Office programs. Maybe it's just me but I would be contacting the instructor. And if I didn't understand the instructor, I would make sure that the instructor would give me an answer I did understand. I don't lay out cash for something that isn't clear to me.

Is Office 2000 compatible with Office 2003?
I'm not implying that I don't think the instructor shouldn't be
contacted. I was simply answering the question at hand which is if Office 2000 is compatible with Office 2003. I also noted that if it's a class on Office 2003 that includes functionality added in Office 2003 then that's another story. As I previously pointed out, the OP noted "the teacher said she needed Office 2003" which *does* indicate there has been some contact with the instructor. The fact that the OP has asked if the versions are compatible indicates they are doing their research and are attempting fully understand the situation so they aren't laying out case for something that may be unnecessary. That being the case, why should we assume they haven't been in contact with the instructor and advise them to contact the instructor instead of providing an answer to the question that was asked?

Is Office 2000 compatible with Office 2003?
I don't disagree with you at all. Your information is correct. :-)
I just think a more in-depth conversation with the instructor is needed. Chances are the teacher said "You need Office 2003." The student went home and daughter said "Oh, we have Office 2000. Let's ask the NG and see if they are the same thing."

Is Office 2000 compatible with Office 2003?
To the OP, JoAnn, Beth, and Tom:
At my local Community College I took "Advanced" (next step after "Introduction To") classes in Word XP, Excel XP, and Access XP. It was a highly frustrating experience; fully half the students insisted upon using versions '95, '98, and 2000 at home and then want to waste an entire class hour whining that "I couldn't get (a particular function) to work" and wanting the instructor to explain how to perform the home work in those prior versions. When one goes to college, one should use the tools required by the college. Just because your great-great granddaddy used a meat saw to perform surgery during the Civil War does not mean that it is appropriate to use a meat saw in a modern School of Medicine.
