Re: 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.

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.

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:

My mom started going to College and her teacher said she needed
Office 2003.
Is Office 2000 Professional compatible with Office 2003 downloads?
