Guest Even Stephen Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 If I buy a new PC that has Vista as the OS, can I also install and use Microsoft Office XP Professional and Front Page? Thanks!

Of course you will need an unused copy of XP and a copy of FrontPage. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers http://www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!" MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User

Guest Even Stephen Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Re: Microsoft Office XP Pro with Front Page Malke: Thanks. It is primarily FP that I must continue to use and I'd rather not have to buy the FP upgrade for Vista.

Since there is no "Microsoft Office XP Pro" and since you posted in the newsgroup for general questions about the XP operating system, I read it as "Microsoft XP Pro" and didn't realize that you weren't asking about dual-booting the XP operating system with Vista but wanted to know if Microsoft Office XP (2002) would work on Vista. It does work, but Outlook doesn't retain passwords. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers http://www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!" MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User

Since there is no "Microsoft Office XP Pro" FWIW, there are Developer, Professional, and Standard versions of Microsoft Office XP, including a Pro version with FrontPage.

There was, actually, a Microsoft Office XP Professional; it's what I used between Office 2K Pro and Office 2003 Pro. If you look at the Office XP system requirements, you'll see that the two Professional editions required more hard drive space: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/suites/HA102126351033.aspx -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. -Bertrand Russell
