Got Win XP home edition but want word, excel etc

Do I need to upgrade to Office XP?

 

Hello

You don't need to upgrade to Office XP if you don't want to. Any version of Office works.

Steve.

 

A heads up for the new XP Office 2004. It is lovely and sparkly - after all, a super gui is so important

 

U talk cr@p!

 

Blimey, you're 1 year ahead of everyone on this side of Mars, even Bill Gates. Office 11 aka 2003 has only just been released!!!

 

Is this a new version we dont know about then 2k3 is only just out!!!!

 

LOL 2003 is pretty good nice to look at, not had a play with OneNote yet. 2004

 

Scooby96: no, Office and Windows are separate packages. Your old version of Office should be just fine.

 

Just uninstalled outlook 2003 and gone back to xp, my simple head couldn't cope

 

In fact, Outlook 03 is far superior in its capabilities. Simple user tasks are much better such as rules. I dont use the whole spectrum but Im interested in perhaps intergrating the calendar onto the web as a kind of booking operative.

Yes, I always talk cr@p And I make typo's... it's 03 I have.

I have only recently installed it, around a week ago, so I havent checked out all the other apps such as word, publisher and excel etc. There were a few other goodies there too such as InfoPath (oooh, a form creator! Ive been looking for one of those - publishable to a webserver - cushti) and a host of tools that Ive not seen before. Might have to go and have a play. Not enough hours in my days.

And why have I got chinese writing next to the message icons on the reply window?
