Is Office 2007 Home and Student compatible with Outlook 2000?

[Gorgulho Esclerosado]

I have Office 2000 Professional (Portuguese Language) installed and now
purchased Office 2007 Home and Student (also Portuguese Language). This
version of Office 2007 does not have Outlook. My question is: Can I keep
Outlook 2000 running and install the Office 2007 Home and Student, or must I
remove all my programs of the Office 2000 Professional to install the Office
2007 Home and Student.

You can certainly keep outlook 2000 - the only thing you won't be able to do
is to use Word as your email editor...

Yes you can. However, I would recommend that you read
http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=762 for
some very good pointers.

The only application that cannot "play well" with different versions IS
Outlook, so since Home and Student does not come with Outlook, your only
alternative for having a version of Outlook is 2000.

Besides using Word as the editor, Office automation relies on the same version of all Office applications installed from the same suite. Send To from Office will not work as well as mail merges and other interconnected actions.

yet if I use say Thunderbird for my email, the SendTo function in Office
applications DOES work! is this more un-joined-up-thinking from MS?

My son came to visit with his MS Windows 2000 Professional NT (German edition).
My brother did not know what he was doing, put a wireless card in, and think
it must have been crossed in the slot, anyway it messed up, and did not have
restore CD. It took my only 1/2 hour to fix it, and my German is not the
best. I like the MS Windows 2000 Professional better than the ME, XP, and
Vista.

If it where me I would do all I can to keep the Office 2000 Professional
(Portuguese Language.

Hi JMC

Windows 2000 and Office 2000 are completely different products. Windows 2000 is an operating system, whilst Office 2000 is a suite
of applications.

Sorry, I have it wrong.
