Will Office 2003 Pro run on Vista

[Past_it]

Forgive me for coming so late to the party, but will Office Pro 2003 run
on Vista? The pre-loaded Office that came with my Vista machine does not
have Access and Publisher that I used to use every day. If it will only
run on XP, then I've made a very expensive mistake.

Thanks,
Mike

Office 2003 and Office 2007 both run just fine on Windows Vista. Remove any
trial version before installing Office 2003.

Office 2003 is fine on Vista.
You would ideally need to uninstall your trial version, reboot, prior to
installing from Office 2003 cd
(This assumes a retail not OEM copy, tied to the origonal PC)
After updating 2003, you can then if you wish update to 2007, this will
leave the 2003 components not included in your 2007 version, ie Access &
Publisher

Or you could simply try installing only Access & Publisher, but be aware MS
reccomendation is to install earlier product first
