1. Right, not broke, no need for fix - keep Office 2000.
2. Office 2000 unsupported - Office 2003 supported and a major improvement
over the version from 2 versions ago. Try it with a trial version for the
kids and ask them if they want it.

| Greetings.

| Keeping in mind the old saying - "if it's not broke, don't fix it",
| here's a question...
|
| I have three children (2 in college, one in high school) and all
| three are using Office 2000. All three seem happy with what they
| have and are able to complete their school work using Office 2000.
|
| But...I use Office 2003 (and can see the difference between the
| two...especially in PowerPoint) at work and am thinking of upgrading
| my kids to 2003. Looking at the MS website, it says that the Office
| Standard upgrade is $239...BUT...I can buy the full "student" version
| (which can be installed on up to three computers) for $149.
| Obviously it makes a ton a sense to buy the "student"
| version...unless there's something "missing" on the student version
| that I don't know about.
|
| But...if the kids are happy...should I even bother? I'm thinking
| leave well enough alone....
|
| Just looking for your thoughts....
|
| Thanks.
