Re: 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?

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.

Like I said - maybe it's just me.

"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:
