download Office Professional 2000

[Caladyjane]

I can't download Office Professional 2000 on my computer. I have Home office
2003 already installed

Caladyjane,
You actually don't download anything from Microsoft except updates or
service packs. You install software on your pc from your installation cd(s).
As a suggestion;
To answer or suggest anything for your question, anyone here would need some
pretinent information, such as:
You Windows version.
Specific error messages recieved during the installation of your Office
version.
Information on your pc before this problem that you may think is important
before your problem with installation.

Hi Chris,
You are right. I was trying to install the microsoft 2000 professional
office software upgrade into my new laptop but I got a message that the
software did not find a compatible program so it would not let me install. I
have microsoft home office 2003 on my laptop.

Not true. There are many programs one can download from Microsoft. Office
just doesn't happen to be one of them.

That's because 2003 came out after 2000. Only logical, yes?

Alias,
Not true, you can download an Office version here:

Didn't think it was relevant to the op.
You are correct, you can download Media Player 10, a new version of
messenger, or if you want, a trial version of Share Point Portal Server:

plus many more. Just didn't think that was relevant to the op...

Caladyjane,
In order to install Office on your machine you will have to provide the
installer with a previous version when you get the error message.

That is not Office. It's a watered down *trial* version that expires in 60
days.

Alias,
It is Office, just doesn't work after the trial period unless it is converted.
