There was a time, before we upgraded our computers (Macs) at work that I was using 4 different versions of MSO. MS Office 98 for Mac on one computer, MSO 2001 for Mac on another, MSO XP for Windows at home, and MSO 2003 for Windows at home, (I had both at one time as I was making the transistion). I never had a sngle problem other than fonts transfer files from one to another. And the reason I had font problems is because I used Mac-only fonts is some of my documents. We now use MSO 2004 for Mac at work, and still, no problems. Compare that experience to Adobe Pagemaker, which is still giving me problems transfering from one version to another and/or to InDesign. Even on the same computer! I know YMMV, and others have had completely different experiences - but I, for one, have never had any problems with transfering files from one version of MSO to another. - Chad Smith
