Win 7 with Office

[Jaypie]

I use Windows 7 with WLM 2011.

I am lucky, I found the installation cds of Office 2000.

Does somebody know if Office 2000 is still working
with Windows 7 ?

Thank you for the help.

Yes, but the Office 2000 Update doesn't work under Windows 7. You have
to download the updates manually. If you need references, I can post
them for you.

It works with some problems. Outlook is especially problematic. The
earliest Office version that's fully compatible is Office 2003

By the way, I haven't used Outlook 2000 in years. So I don't know if
Outlook 2000 part works or not. But the rest works pretty nicely.

Why even sweat it? OpenOffice.org will work - it's a free download.

Well for me anyway, OpenOffice only supports two views while Word 2000
supports four (OpenOffice doesn't even have normal mode). Word 2000 also
can change case in all four options (sentence, upper. lower, and title
case). OpenOffice does two of them easy and the third is buried deep in
the menus (and it is still missing the fourth). Also OpenOffice doesn't
support text with layout. So there are lots of reasons why OpenOffice
doesn't cut it for me.

Good for you. Those don't sound like things I'd want to use very often.

Well I use them everyday, that is why they are important to me. ;-)

Applies to Windows 7 also but not recommended

I tried OpenOffice for a couple of weeks but I didn't like it.

I know you have Office 2k, but...
IMO, Office 2003 was the best one made.
We had 2010 on the Win 7 office computers and nearly everyone
complained about it so we went back to 2003.
You can get a used or OEM copy of 2003 from E-bay, cheap.

I am with you. For some very basic tasks it is okay. But it isn't no MS
Office that is for sure.

OK - no problem. One advantage of OpenOffice.org is that it costs
absolutely nothing to install - then you can try it, see if it meets your
needs or if it has some advantages not available on your current MS
Office. I know folks who have and use both - because neither one does
everything.

Actually, you could use Microsoft Office free of charge by going to:

You can create a document and save it online or email it to yourself so
that you have a hard copy on your disk.

I'm using both Word 2000 and Word 2007 with Windows 7. They each work
fine. There's a small Registry hack that prevents them from
reconfiguring themselves every time you open one program after having
used the other. (If that bothers you.)

WHY? Why bother at all with 2000 if you have 2007?

Painfully, achingly true. I think the main purpose of program design
since Gates retired and Screaming Steve took over is to sell a very
large number of "helpful" books. Almost nothing that users learned over
the years about Office carried over to 2007/2010. The ribbon concept
should win a prize--specifically a brown ribbon, if you get my drift.
If, as reported somewhere, Win8 uses ribbons the Shrewd Steve will have
ultimately triumphed over Screaming Steve, unless the directors do what
they should have done upon the release of Vista.

I bit the bullet this year and raised a new system with Windows 7, a
new computer, and Office10 instead of Word/Access2003.

It's a bit of a steep learning curve, but I wouldn't go back.

Really? That is interesting. Why do you say that? As knowing how
Microsoft takes things away in newer versions of the OS and their email
clients. It makes sense that their Office products are doing the very
same. Hell I remember when MS removed WordArt from MS Works. And I am
thinking what the hell are they thinking of? But I say that a lot about
MS lately. It is like MS wants MS to fail. :-O

As will Acess, Excel, FrontPage, Outlook, PowerPoint, and yes Word...
