Re: Are Office 2003 applications compatible with earlier Off appli

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I believe Rae answered your first question so regards to what will
happen when you open a Word 2000 document in Word 2003:

They share the same file format so an upgrade doesn't take place.
However there are some behaviors that changed between the versions so
even though the file formats are the same there could be some
compatibility issues with how the file is displayed. In light of that,
when you open a Word 2000 document in Word 2003 it will be opened
using Word 2000 compatibility options. If you want to change the
compatibility options to Word 2003 go to Tools/Options/Compatibility.

However there isn't a need to do this unless you want to use some of
the new behaviors in your document. To get an idea of the behaviors
I'm referring to and the changes between versions, change the
recommend options to another version and note the options that are
selected/deselected. They're fairly minor so you may never see a
difference. I don't change the compatibility options unless I see a
need to change them.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.

Yes, it sounds like a good idea to delete Word 2000 and install Word
2003.
Should I save all the Word 2000 ducuments to a CD so that they are
off the
computer when I delete Word 2000?

In this case, when I use Word 2003 to open a document formatted in
Word
2000, will the document's Word 2000 format be updated it to the Word
2003
format?

Thanks again.
