it will work, but there seem to be issues with SP3

Yes
I have installed MS Office Standard Edition and it works with no problems.
I installed all except Outlook, so not sure how outlook would act with Vista.

I didn't know about the problem with sp3, because I have never run any updates on my MS Office 2000, and have had no problems.

what's wrong with office 2007 (except the price :-)?

or OpenOffice 2.10 which beats Office 2000 hands down ... and it's free.

Office 2000 isn't the only one deemed compatible with Vista. There are many more...

Windows Vista RTM Software Compatibility List


According to M$ watcher Mary Jo Foley, M$ is set to publicize a list of 800 Vista-compatible applications (ostensibly to promote greater migration to Vista). Stay tuned.

Price is a factor and I've been using Office 2000 for years - I'm a 'stick in the mud' !!

XpUser - thanks for the Link

U're welcome. I reckoned that at my age life's getting very short. So I went out & bought Office 2997 to go with Vista Home Business. Believe me it's a big improvement from all earlier versions and faster too.

FWIW I found Open Office's Word equivalent fully compatible with MS Office 2000. The same was true of Excel spreadsheets but any graphs had to be re-done or modified.
