old version of Office XP

[joseph.nussbaum]

Quick question... I recently switched to Mac and I have an older
version of Office XP (Small Business version 2002) from a Dell I used
to own. There's no way to use that version of Office on a Mac, is
there?

Not on the Mac side.

However, via Boot Camp or Parallels, you can run it in Windows mode,
assuming you have an intel-based Mac.

If you want MacOffice, you can save a bundle if instead of buying the
standard version, you get an old, used copy of Office 98, 2001 or v.X
(e.g., eBay, your local user group) and get the upgrade version of 2004.

Yes, and no.
You can run a Windows OS on your Mac, then run it from there.
But that is hardly on a Mac. It is more like on a fake PC.
Google Bootcamp or Parallels for how.
