Office 2000 or 2003?

[kevnich2]

Sorry, I know this should be in software but things in that area hardly ever get read. My question is this, what are the main differences between Office 2000 and 2003? I have 2000 now and am happy with it but I am considering upgrading to 2003 but I'm curious what are the differences? If there's nothing major, I'll stay with 2000 as it's stable and quick loading.

Outlook sucks unless you have 2003 which is the best version so far IMHO.

2003 looks a lot nicer and cleaner. I did the "upgrade" a few months back.

I still use 2000. Havn't really found the need to spend a FEW hundred on nearly the same product.

I used 2000 happily until I signed up for an "intro to word" class as an easy elective my last semester of college. To do the homework, we had to have office 2002, so I went out and bought it. From what I could tell, the only major difference is the way it looks, everything else is pretty far under the hood.

I use 2000 at work still and I don't miss any of the "features" in 2002 that I have on my home desktop and laptop PC.

I have been using 2003 for about a year. Not as good as 2000, IMHO.

I think you answered my question then, looks like I'll just stick with 2000.

There is some fomula floating around that says 90% of the people use less than 10% of the offered features.

Were you bumping your head on something in old program? Does new program provide relief?

Stick with 2000.

The new stuff in 2003 is nothing anyone will ever use.
