Office 2003 & Vista?

Can I install Office 2003 on Windows Vista? I purchased a new computer with
Vista but it didn't come with Office 2007. I still have my installation
disks for Office 2003 from my old computer. Will those work on the new
computer?

Yes, It works fine. I've been using it for 6 months..

Myself and my family have been running Office 2003 on Vista Home premium for
the last 2 years without any problem.
I also run some Office 2000 programs such as Access on Vista with out any
problems.

Hi, I had trouble installing Office 2003 on My new Vista PC. After much
searching and trouble-shooting, I discovered athe problem: I needed to get a
recent version of Windows Installer. Once I downloaded the update to Windows
Installer, installation of Office 2003 was no problem.

Hope this helps, Robert.

I don't know what Office 3 pro is...

I am using Microsoft Office Basic Edition 2003. It (Word, Excel & Outlook)
works just fine on Vista and I'm now using it on Windows 7 beta.

The only problem is, you have to run one of the programs "as administrator"
once in order to accept the EULA.
After that, it works fine.
