Given that it's likely no longer available, perhaps you should ask her
what students, who do not have and cannot obtain that version are
supposed to do. Locking people into a specific version of a proprietary
application is a very bad thing to do. She has effectively locked out
many people from her class. It appears your problem goes beyond
anything OpenOffice can do. This is an excellent example of why
Microsoft lock in is a very bad thing. In my opinion, your prof's
request is unreasonable.

there a way to download 2003 doc to my computer?
Why is it that Word 2003 "doc" is so important? I don't know if the
.DOC format in Word 2003 is different from earlier recent versions of
Word. If the class absolutely requires Word 2003, I guess you'll have
to buy it (if you still can), but I cannot understand why that
instructor is so restrictive. If anyone were to buy a new computer
these days, they certainly wouldn't have it and I just checked a major
office supply store and they don't have anything older than Office 2007.
