Kay, if you can't open O2000 files with O2003, something is very wrong! I have files here going back to Office 4.2 that open fine in O2003... Not sure what to suggest, other than a Detect and Repair from the Help menu in any Office 2003 app. ____________________________________ Neil Atwood - Sydney, Australia -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kay Green Sent: Sunday, 20 June 2004 3:24 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Installing Office 2003 - Advice reqd.

Org Subject: [mso] Installing Office 2003 - Advice reqd. I am about to install the full version of Office 2003 (I currently have Office 2000). Potentially, it would be useful to me to be able to run both versions, installing 2003 to another directory. I have no idea, however, if that's a wise move! If I had to replace 2000 with 2003, are there any issues with simply installing over the existing installation? Or would I be wise to remove the Office 2000 installation first? Any experience from those who have travelled this road would be most welcome! ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
