We had Office 2003 for 2 years, installed by Invensys in our Infusion
development system. Our system has redundant fiber optics MESH and a
secondary Archestra copper network. During an upgrade of the Infusion
software, Invensys installed Office 2007. That is about three years ago.
I don't recall having problems with it. Invensys is currently staging
our real plant Infusion system in Fox Mass, and they are using Office
2007. They refused to use Office 2010.
I hope this helps in your installation decision.

We have had Office 2003 Professional installed on our MESH Windows 2003
Server AWs (Versions 8.2 & 8.42) for 4 years with no problems incurred.
Foxboro does not officially sanction this, but will tell you no
conflicts have been reported with this Office install on MESH (UNLESS
YOU HAVE INFUSION). Do not install Microsoft Office any INFUSION based
systems as INFUSION uses part of Office and your Office install will
conflict with the INFUSION install. Of course, no one can predict future
MESH conflicts 100% (QFs, etc) so there is always a very slight element
of risk. We accepted this slight risk for the advantage of having Office
readily available for Fox configuration database work, etc.
I have recently been told by Fox that no conflicts have been reported
with an Office 2007 install on MESH AWs either (AGAIN, DO NOT INSTALL
OFFICE ON INFUSION SYSTEMS), so we're going for it. I was just hoping
someone had practical experience with Office 2007 on the MESH to
semi-bless it.

I noticed that this question has drawn NO REPLIES! I wanted to see the
answers too.
I imagine that nobody has actually been successful in doing this (or
maybe no one wants to admit it publicly).
I will be unable to get to the meeting next week - but this would be a
great topic to add to the discussion list.
I don't know exactly what Jack wants to do, but I would like to be able
to install Excel onto a P92/WP (Display Station) - I think it would be
nice to be able to work with or view a spreadsheet - and even run
AIM-ODBC macro driven reports.
I don't think we need Excel2007 or 2010. I would guess since the
systems are running XP, even Office2003 would be OK.
Some guidance/approval from Invensys would be nice.
