Re: 2002 upgrade to 2003

I'm not saying the older versions aren't fine as long as they do what you
want. But if you had 2002, would you spend the money to upgrade to 2003?

I'm sorry you took my response in a negative fashion. It was not meant to
be so. Upgrading to a version that has been upgrading doesn't really make
sense financially (assuming you can still find it). Plus you will be
hurting yourself down the road by not learning how to use the ribbon now.
Unless you plan on retiring in the next two years or so, it could be a
skill that pays off when the next version is realeased.


Many people still use Office 97 and Windows Me and it gets the job done
for them. Only those with lots of money can afford to buy the latest
Office package so they won't be "hurt down the road". In Spain where I
live, Retail Office Ultimate costs over 1000 US Dollars. The fancy dancy
new ribbon and keeping up with the Joneses is not enough for me to switch
from 03 as it gets the job done quite nicely thank you very much.
