Office Upgrade

[Kelly]

I am running Office 2000 on WinXP Home and would like to upgrade.

I'm confused with the differences between Office XP/ Office 2002 (are
they the same?) and Office 2003 (this is the newest?).

I know I'll need the Professional edition as I use Access, but
wondered what the differences are between the 3 newer programs and
which was most stable.

Thanks!

Office XP is essentially Office 2002. If you're going to spend the money,
may as well go for Office 2003.

Please respond in the same thread on this newsgroup. Make sure you
include details of your application and Windows versions, and whether
or not you have included any service pack updates.

From personal experience, I find Office XP far more stable then Office 2003.
Since upgrading to Office 2003 the quantity of bad language in the office
has gone through the roof!

Hmmm....what sorts of problems is 2003 giving you? Easily overcome or no?
