Just remember to save in the old format or you will have disgruntled co-workers... why can't they all just update damnit.

There is a utility to allow 2007 files to be opened in 2003/XP.

True but people (bosses, clients, co-workers) don't want to bother installing it for no visible benefit to them.

Being able to read the damn documents ought to be a visible benefit?

hehe, that is what I said but they rightly countered we should all change together and not just have on bloke (me) wandering off to new formats for no benefit. I just need to remember to save as doc and not docx.

There is a compatibility pack for 2003.

I could understand sticking with Office XP, but Office 2000? Didn't the hourly crashes frustrate you into upgrading? In my experience Office XP was the first release that actually had any stability in it.

I never had any problems with stability in 2000. But then again, I didn't tax the apps very hard either.

Fairy muff. I probably spend 30% of my time in Office apps so I was seeing two or three crashes a day with 2000. XP was more stable, and introduced a decent document recovery, and 2003 had usability improvements. I'm trying 2007 now, but it is a big change for me.

I'll be moving to Office 2007 at some point shortly.

I couldn't resist either and I have already switched. The only problem I how now, is that I need to save two versions of the same document as the teachers and students I work with don't have office 2007 .
I love the new bibiography feature btw, it's so much simpler now to keep track of used sources in a good format!
