I have a new computer that I want to put Office in; it has XP home user OS. Will Office 2000 Pro work okay?

What programs are in Office? My daughter and my wife will be using this for homework for school; any help from the Fabulous Freepers will be greatly appreciated, thanks Jim And John for this great site, Ken.

I'm still clunking along with my old Packard Bell 120 (C115) and 95; my icon palsy attacks come and go, but I just do a CTRL+ALT+left arrow and BINGO!, I'm in.

[wysiwyg]

Yes.

No reason why it wouldn't work. It comes with Word, Excel (spreadsheets), PowerPoint (presentations), a few other things too but you're unlikely to use them.

What programs are in Office?

Excel, Access, Word, PowerPoint (and Outlook came from somewhere – I don’t know if it was bundled in with Office or not…).

And Access...

And Frontpage as well.

I run Office 2000 on Windows XP Pro and it works beautifully. No problems at all.

The learning curve can be a little steep for these products, but they give you great capabilities.

Office 2000 will work fine on XP.

I've become a big fan of Windows XP over the past few months, have found it to be quite an improvement and hope you experience it that way too.

There's always the f1 key and there is an online tutor from microsoft.com

If it doesn't run properly on XP, let us know.

This should be a very simple one for MS, but I'm not ready to take bets.

I'm wondering if Office 97 Pro will work in XP. I haven't installed it in my new laptop, not sure of compatibility.

[garyb]

Office 97 works just fine on my wife's Toshiba laptop which has XP home edition as the OS.

Office 2000 will work just fine on XP.

Which programs are in Office 2000, depends on which version.

There is the professional version which includes:
Word
Excel
Powerpoint
Outlook
Access

The "standard" version drops Access.

There are a couple of other versions out there as well, but the standard and professional are most common.

Thanks for the answer.
