Does Word / Office 2003 work in Windows 7

[JGreg7]

Can anyone tell me if Word / Office 2003 works reliably and stably in Windows
7?

It is time for a new computer, and Windows XP is generally unavailable on
the new computers and I simply do not wish to spend the time to learn a new
set of menus in Word / Office 2007.

As a general gripe, the biggest benefit of Windows over the years is that
the menus were always similar between Windows versions and most of the
programs that ran on Windows. Re-arranging the entire menu structure for no
reason seems more like a move to discourage upgrades rather than promote them.

Yes, Office 2003 runs just fine in Windows 7.

When you get the new computer, if you're keeping your current printer,
check the printer manufacturer's web site for an updated driver. Word
doesn't work without a default printer.

I won't argue about menus vs. ribbons. Some people are happy with
ribbons, others hate them. I use both interchangeably -- I have Word
2003 and Word 2007 running on the same machine.
