Can I run Office 2007 on XP? Does anyone know? From what I've read so far, yes you can, and then others have had some trouble....
I don't want Vista, hate it, XP is cool with me, but can I install the newer Office version on XP?

and this is what microsoft had to say about that...

If you want to install and use more than one version of Office on the same computer, use the following order.
Collapse this tableExpand this table
Office Version Installation Order
Microsoft Office 2000 First
Microsoft Office XP Second
Office 2003 Third
2007 Office suites and programs Fourth
You must install the earliest version of Office first. For example, if you want to use both Office 2003 and 2007 Office programs on the same computer, install Office 2003 first. You must use this order because of the way in which registry keys, shared programs, file name extensions, and other settings are managed for each version of the Office suites and programs.

Important If you remove one of the installed versions of Office, you may have to reinstall the remaining versions of Office in this order for each version to work correctly.


...that's a lot of installing!!
Anybody??

I have yet to figure out why some people make the easiest tasks so difficult.

1) Google "Office 2007 system requirements"
2) Look at (almost) any of the 18 Million plus hits
3) Read the following:

Operating system requirement: Microsoft Windows(R) XP with Service Pack (SP), Windows Server 2003 with SP1, or later operating system
