Windows 7 and Word 2000

Good suggestion . . . I downloaded the good SR-1 file and got it showing
SR-1 but I can't get the SP2 or SP3 updates to run, both say the proper
level (SR-1) is not present even though the computer shows it is.

Hello Rick,
It should work, I just checked the MS website:
Just an FYI for you.
It is always best to check with the software manufacturer FIRST. They will tell you if they have tested the product and the version, as well as whether or not it will work with Windows 7.
Check out the Windows 7 Compatibility site: (There you will find out about hardware and software compatibility.)
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/com...s/default.aspx
There is a pulldown from which you can choose "hardware" and "software".
There are also some great articles, instructional videos and such to help with your Windows 7 at our Springboard site:

Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum located here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/...egory/w7itpro/ . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. You may want to check the threads available there for additional assistance and support.
Thanks again,
