Office 2000 under Win XP Home

[xbigblue]

Have just bought new Compaq laptop, it has Windows XP Home
edition. MS/Works is installed, I prefer MS/Office. Have an install CD for Office 2000 and have been running Office 2000 for years on our desktop under Windows 98. Will the Office 2000 install and run OK under XP Home? This is first time I've seen XP, I did see some compatibility wizards somewhere along the line while getting familiar with XP.

If Office is OK to install with XP, should MS/Works be deleted before I install Office?

As always, thanks in advance.

Hi

I have seen Office 2000 running perfectly well under Win XP and I have had Works running on the same machine as Office 2000 myself so I know that works

Hope this helps

Thanks for your advice. I installed Office 2000 and it went perfectly. All apps seem to open and run OK. I guess there is another question - several years back I had to apply an update from Microsoft for bugs in Access. Guess I had better try to get my newly installed app brought up to date since the install CD is "old". Does Microsoft still provide updates on line for Office 2000?

Thanks.
