brian873 Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I have been using Office 2003 for some time now and have not had any major problems and no crashes that I can remember due to word. A lot of docs I use can be big and bulky and it works fine. Athough if you want to furture proof go for the latest.Hail Hail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazin Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Versions I loved most are word 97 and 2003.In my point of view, if I should like 2003 over 97, it would be due to OCR accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoolDrew Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I would use Openoffice. It is free and IMO way better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunil Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Microsoft word 2003 is the better ver to get. It has better collaberation between the various programs. Hence it is easier for you to work on files between different apps (excel and access). They have better import tools, enhanced security...Most of all its stable.

buletov Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 there is some serius bug with opening some files with specific (but standard) content in word... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Never seen it or even heard of it, and we have tons of people using it who never complained either... I can't see that as a reason to stay with some old version. Can't be that much of an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
