Hi,\n\nAnything you create in Office 2000 will open in Office XP. However, the other way around will not work directly.\n\nFor you to open Office XP files ask your colleagues to also do a "Save As" in their documents. In the drop down for "Save as type" get them to choose the option, for example in Word that has Word 97-2002 & 6.0/95 - RTF (*.doc). This will remove any Word 2002 (XP) specific features, however will allow you to open their documents in Office 2000.\n\nHTH

OpenOffice.org ( http://www.openoffice.org )\n\nVersion 2.0 was recently released, which is a great improvement on the 1.x versions.\nOpenOffice.org is a full office suite, including a word processor, spreadsheet program, presentation editor, database manager, and more.\n\nIt features good compatibility with MS Office and other office suite formats, full support for the OASIS OpenDocument formats (the xml-based open formats of the future), and you can do in it just about everything you can do with commercial suites.\n\nAnd to top it all, it is a cross-platform open-source application; it runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, FreeBSD and Solaris.

Of course. Office XP is Word, Excel, Powerpoint for Windows XP. Home XP is an operating system (like Windows 2000, Windows 98, along those lines). You can of course have both at the same time.

Did you have MS Office as a trial version? The trial period may have expired.\n\nYou can open those files using WordPad, Notepad or Openoffice. I would recommend OpenOffice, as I am a big follower of Free Open source applications.

It's more stable, and you can use all of the old Win 9x software on it. On XP there might be some of the old stuff that won't run. I'm running my old Office 2000 on by XP though.\n\nWin 2k is a little more work to configure, it doesn't do think automatically for you as much as XP, some people think this is a GOOD thing :) it depends on how good you are at doing things for yourself.

There is free and open source office suite called OpenOffice, check it out at, http://www.openoffice.org/ it is also compatible with Microsoft Office formats and you get everything that Office would include such as a Word processor, spreadsheet application, presentation software and a database application.

Word is packaged with Microsoft Office now.  You can find the standard version Office XP for about $100 here: http://www.softwareoutlet.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?

A few years ago, I did a comparison test between Office, OpenOffice 1.1.x, and 602PC Suite 4.x.  I'm pretty demanding in terms of formatting and what not.  I take time to make a document look nice so that requires alot of tricks (setting margins, setting blank lines to certain sizes, etc) but they are not overly complicated.\n\nI really wanted to like the alternatives but I was a bit disappointed that OpenOffice and 602PC Suite could open MS Office documents but their formatting was a bit off.  Some items were too wide or sizes were just not the same so I kept using Office.  I see that OpenOffice released version 2.0 so I may take a look at it again.\n\nAs a student, using OpenOffice would work because there's less of a need to share files to others.  You tend to create documents for your own assignments.  In the workplace, however, the gold standard is still MS Office.  If your report is sent to a manager or a resume is sent to a recruiter and the formatting is all funked up, that's gonna be one ding against you.
