Hi Sheldon
There is no probs running Office 2000 on Windows XP.
For your info, Windows XP has the ability to not only run Office 2000, but
other programs which had originally been made of Windows prior to Windows
XP, if there are any difficulties whatsoever with other programs - Windows
XP has a compatibility assistant which can make the program believe Windows
is actually an earlier version.
Hope this helps you,
Bye for now,
Mark Gillan
