    Can I delete Win.2007 office and install Win2000 office. Is it compatable with Win7 Pro?

    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.
