I'm trialing Office 2007 for small business and note a tip on the support
site that says ONLY the standalone version of Outlook with Business Contact
Manager works with Word 2003 etc.

I'm an indepedent recruitment agent and I save, modify and re-issue to
companies, many CV's from individuals using earlier versions of Word.

Buying the student edition of Office and the standalone version of Outlook
with Business Contact Manager would meet my needs and cost $200 LESS than
buying the Small Business version because I don't need accounting software
(low volume sales) and I don't need Publisher (WORD does the job).

Am I correct in thinking that the Small Business version would not give me
the compatibilty I need with my candidate's 'legacy' documents which I want
to hold within Outlook BCM?

Word 2007 has a way to save a document in the Word 2003 (and prior) .DOC
format instead of the new .DOCX format. You can even set that as a default.

HTH,
