Don't try and make a relationship in the names. ;-)

You can load Office 97, 2000, XP (or 2002), 2003 or 2007 onto Windows XP.
Not sure about Office 95. heh

Not at all. The similarity in names is meaningless--just used for
marketing purposes. All versions of Microsoft Office, starting with
Office 95, work in Windows XP.
 
Heck, even Office 4.3 (Word 6.0, Excel 5.0c, & PPT 4.0c) works in XP without
even using compatibility mode. Haven't tried any of the O 4.3 programs in
Vista yet.

You must learn to read labels.

The operating system is called Microsoft Windows XP Pro or Home.

The office suite is called Microsoft Office XP.
 
Heck, even Office 4.3 (Word 6.0, Excel 5.0c, & PPT 4.0c) works in XP without
even using compatibility mode. Haven't tried any of the O 4.3 programs in

Thanks for the addition. I didn't know that.



 
I was really surprised when I decided to test it. It was even installed
after all my previous versions of Office were co-installed on the same
machine (they were installed in the proper order.) Office (O) 97 Pro,
O-2000 SBE, O-XP S&T, O-2003 Pro, O-2007 H&S versions. Haven't been able to
find a free version of O-95 yet but I hope I can find someone to donate a
legal copy. Have all installed on XP laptop that I use in training. I don't
think I would want to use the O-4.3 programs for production however since it
may have some areas that I haven't tested that won't work. My next test is
going to be to install my copy of Word 2.0 on the laptop to see if it also
works.

I also have Publisher 2.0, 98 & 2003 currently co-installed on the laptop
and they all work as expected. Need the 98 since 03 won't read all the 2.0
files I still have and use which I have to convert for those people that
have only 03 or 07 Publisher.
