Microsoft Office 2003 Vista Compatible or not?

Question

I have Microsoft Office 2003 that I purchase a few years ago. Does anyone know if it is Vista compatible. I want to load it on my new PC when it gets here but don't want to crash the PC if the program isn't compatible. I didn't opt for Office 2007 because I need to learn Vista first and would rather have Office 2003 on my PC to make my life easier.   Thanks

Many member here on the forums are running 2003 on Vista with no issues.

Make sure you have a retail version and not an OEM version of Office that came with another computer. You will not be able to activate OEM Office on a diff computer. If you have the Student Teacher version of Off 2003, you can install on up to 3 home computers. And Office 2003 works fine on Vista.

I also recommend that after installing this, visit www.officeupdate.com and download the latest patches for your programs. You may need the original CD to validate your product key and installation / activation to proceed with patch installation.
