2000 & XP: Concurrent Installation

[DanW]

Agree excessive hassle ... likely ditch 2003 (WORD & OL) for a later day.

I have clients that use only Word 2000 and use of XP or 2003 in editing
(inserting Comments, etc) does NOT result in completely compatible when
re-opened in 2000, even when the 2000 compatibility options are selected. We
have over the last couple years with various new users run time and time
againinto this lack of backward compatibility .... with many efforts to find
work-arounds that just never get there.

Thanks for the reply
