Eleanor,
I'm not sure what advantage you would get, especially if you are not missing any functionality with your current software. I'm still happy with Word 2000 for both my PhD and professional work, and to be honest everyone I send my documents too don't seem to mind the dot doc file rather than the dot doc x. Also you will miss out on learning the ribbon menu which can cause some problems so you've lost nothing there. As for future software, well there always seems to be a converter available to change formats if necessary; actually, I am currently trying out Jart wordprocessor because its cut down feature set keeps it snappy on a netbook and in the end my publisher wants words on a page spelled correctly rather than something that looks like a website! 

Regards
Karl

Thanks Ted, I know I should learn but while the PCs I have and the 203 works I will soldier on. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted Martin" <tedmart@xxxxxxxxx>

Eleanor, like you I use Office 2003 quite happily with Windows 7.
The only snag I can see is in time to come, with a new version of Windows, 2003 may not work. By then, people like us who haven't made the effort to learn new tricks will be left behind by the rest of the world. 

In spite of that, this old dog continues to cling to the familiar.

Best wishes,  Ted.

Hi
I use Office 2003 quite happily. What would be the advantage of me
moving to say Office 2007 or 2010? I actually have new versions of each
but I only see it as a great learning curve rather than an advantage.
Would be interested in comments.
