Well, there is no "Office for windows vista", so what you most likely have
is Office 2007 which will run on the Vista version of the Windows operating
system but will also run on several other versions. In direct answer to your
question, however, the answer is "yes... but":
You can install Windows XP or Vista on an Intel Mac running OS X 10.5 if you
create a separate drive partition & use Apple's Boot Camp. You would have to
reboot your Mac any time you wanted to run the Windows partition & again
when you wanted your Mac to be a Mac. It also requires that you have the
separate Windows drivers installed for most of your devices (printer,
internet connection, scanner, etc.) if you want to be able to use them while
booted as a Windows box.
Second option also requires that you have a copy of Windows as well as
either Parallels or VMware Fusion. Either of those products allow you to run
Windows as a Virtual Machine while continuing to run OS X... Assuming you
have the RAM & horsepower to carry the load. [I highly recommend at least a
2 GHz unit with 4 GB RAM.) You can switch back & forth between your Mac OS &
apps as well as the Window VM as though it were just another "program".
Lastly, there is a program by the name of Cross Over which allows you to
install [many] Windows apps on the Mac without having Windows itself. I
haven't used it but I understand that it works pretty well if your
requirements are modest (and Office 2007 is compatible with it).
NOTE: Research all options thoroughly before you make a decision
