Win 7 with Office

I use Windows 7 with WLM 2011.

I am lucky, I found the installation cds of Office 2000.

Does somebody know if Office 2000 is still working
with Windows 7 ?

Thank you for the help.

Yes, but the Office 2000 Update doesn't work under Windows 7. You have
to download the updates manually. If you need references, I can post
them for you.

It works with some problems. Outlook is especially problematic. The
earliest Office version that's fully compatible is Office 2003

By the way, I haven't used Outlook 2000 in years. So I don't know if
Outlook 2000 part works or not. But the rest works pretty nicely.

Why even sweat it? OpenOffice.org will work - it's a free download.

Well for me anyway, OpenOffice only supports two views while Word 2000
supports four (OpenOffice doesn't even have normal mode). Word 2000 also
can change case in all four options (sentence, upper. lower, and title
case). OpenOffice does two of them easy and the third is buried deep in
the menus (and it is still missing the fourth). Also OpenOffice doesn't
support text with layout. So there are lots of reasons why OpenOffice
doesn't cut it for me.

Good for you. Those don't sound like things I'd want to use very often.

Well I use them everyday, that is why they are important to me. ;-)

Applies to Windows 7 also but not recommended

I tried OpenOffice for a couple of weeks but I didn't like it.
