    Hi cbumpkin. Yes Office 2000 does work with Windows 7 Professional even though Microsoft says otherwise on their compatibility center page.

    Just make sure to install all the updates for Microsoft Office 2000 after its been installed and it should work fine.

    Is there a reason why you want to install Office 2000? Just so you know Microsoft is no longer offering updates for that version of Office which could put your computer at risk of getting infected with malware.

    Office 2000 is not officially compatible with Windows 7. Some people have gotten it to install but not all features will work correctly.

    Office 2007 can open files created in previous versions of Office.

    ? Press [Ctrl-O] (or click the Orb and then "Open ") and browse to the file you want to open.
