I am having problems with different peices of Office 2003 and other programs
running on our desktops. Also, printing. Does office use more memory and
system resources?

How much physical RAM do you have installed? Installing at
least 512 MB RAM would result in a significant performance
enhancement.

Most of our desktops have 256mb ram. With 2002 SP2 we didn't have a problem,
but with 2003 SP2 we do.

If you haven't done so, install Service Pack 2 designed
for Microsoft Office 2003. Also, add another 256 MB
RAM to one machine and see the difference.
