Hi All,

I am currently using Office XP Small Business Version 2002.
Does anyone know if this is this version is current enough
to be compatible with Proofing Tools 2003? The system
requirements don't specify a minimum version of Office, and
I've heard that Office 2000 won't work with it.

Thanks.

Probably not. There are new things built into Office 2003
that weren't in 2002...

The Office 2000 Proofing tools would probably work if you:
- uninstall 2002
- install 2000 (maybe just Word and the proofing tools,
in a custom install)
- install 2002
- uninstall *just the Office 2000 application*, but not
the proofing tools ("Change" from the Windows installer,
rather than "Remove")
