> Does anyone in here use Word 2000 XP? What do you think of it so far?
XP has a few nice things that have improved over 2000, but by an large it
isn't that remarkably different. I like the new style task-bars. They are
more like Frame or PageMaker. Styles also work more like Frame in that if
you change the style manually, it shows up in the task menu as a modified
version of whatever the base style was.
You can downgrade to Office 2000. Just remove XP from your new machine,
remove 2000 from your old machine, install 2000 on your new machine, stick
the discs to XP in your drawer. I've bought numerous new PCs for our
office recently and wiped all the OEM software off them. There is nothing
wrong with that. Even if you lease the machines. You just keep all the
OEM discs and then wipe the machine and put all the OEM stuff back on
before you return it.
Was that polite enough?
