I have used 2000, but 2003 is more stable and more graceful in recovery -
however, as with all software, it is not without issues - the most
irritating of which is in its random changing of settings stored in the
registry - that appear under tools > options, but it can be bullied into
complying with auto macros. The changes to mail merge take some getting used
to also, but instability is not an issue.

My own experience and view entirely. I have found Office 2000, with
all service packs, to be entirely stable and reliable. Posts here
suggest that all subsequent versions of Word (anyway) are not. I
personally would not risk any later version of Word. And, for the
record I wouldn't trust Vista either.

I am going to buy a laptop next month. I would like to get vista
business 64bit. I am thinking whether I should use my old office2k
or buy the latest
office07.

I use word mainly for editing my thesis which has a lot of
equations and figures. The documents are usually fair large with a
lot of graphics and thousands equations.

excel for basic calculation and sometime drawing some graphs but I
mainly use sigma plot, a scientific grapher.

Access for keeping up the basic data base.

Powerpoint, only occasionally. Once in every half year.

Any comments on comparing office2k and 07 would be appreciate.
Will office07 run better in a 64bit environment?

Thanks
