Aaron Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 Work done in 2000 can be used in 97, as long as you "save as" in Word 97 format in the drop down box. I expect Office XP does the same.My college still uses Office 97 (bunch of old-age fart admins) so I use Office 2000 at home so that I don't go too far in office versions.

LS_Dragons Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 M$ was very determined to not make the same mistake with Office XP that they did with Office 2000. They only file format that actually changed was Access. All other apps - the files are interchangeable. If you include (in an XP file) a feature that 2K does not have - the user on 2K will not be able to take advantage of it. The file, however, can be opened and viewed/updated in 2K.LS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Posted January 18, 2002 Author Share Posted January 18, 2002 Could you tell me about the changes that have been made to assess, because one of the modules that I'm learning is using access in office 2000. will access in xp be backward compatible with office 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS_Dragons Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 Everything you can do in Access 2000 you will be able to do in Access 2002 (XP). The changes are more features - like better pivot table support in 2002 etc. If you know Access 2000, you will be able to add to what you know and be proficient in 2002 in short order.LS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Access version 2002 uses the Access 2000 file format by default. Big Booger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
