[gui-talk] Microsoft Office 2003 on Vista/7

[qubit]

What didn't she like about Office 2007? I'm curious.

Also, what do you do when the setup program doesn't accept the product key 
you type in from the label? We tried many times and it just doesn't work.  I 
am wondering if it requires all capital letters, or if lowercase is 
acceptable.  I entered the letters with caps lock on so they were all 
capitalized.  Maybe I should try lowercase letters, even though the letters 
on the label are definitely capital.

I'm afraid the problem might be my mothers failing vision. We are getting to 
be considerably less independent than we used to be--she has always had 
great vision, and indeed still drives and reads, but more and more the 
letters on the page need to be magnified for her to be able to make them 
out.
I have no idea if the key I'm typing in is correct.  However I did 
successfully install it on another machine a couple of years ago, so I know 
it's a good key.

Oh well. She is going to the store to buy the student version of Office 
2007.
There are demo versions of it on the laptop that keep asking her for the 
stupid product key.

Thanks for all the comments.

Yes, Microsoft Office 2003 is very compatible with Windows Vista.
I have XP, but my sister had Office 2007, which she didn't like,
and I installed Microsoft Office 2003 on her Laptop and it worked
just as in XP.
