MS Office Document Imaging with Office 2000

[Jim Bud]

I am trying to find out if Microsoft Office Document Imaging which comes with
Office 2003 is compatible with Office 2000? If you can answer this and give
me a site reference where I can check into this further. Thanks!

One followup question I forgot, if MDI is compatible with Office 2000 are
there any compatibility issues or problems that would arise with the scanned
documents and using them in Office 2000 apps? Thanks.

Hi Jim Bud,

The MS Office Document Imaging (MS Paper) application
was first added to MS Office in the Office XP suite.
The .MDI graphics format was first added in Office 2003
and is not supported except in the 2003 Document Imaging
app version.

Thanks Bob, I did take the Office 2003 package and on a test computer with
Office 2000 I ran a custom install of Office 2003 making everything not
available except MDI so it just installed that and kept Office 2000 and it
installed without problems but I don't feel comfortable pushing this out to
50-100 people given it isn't supported by MS under Office XP, afraid of any
consequences now with other applications, the O/S, and when these computers
upgrade to Office 2003. So I will pass your information to the powers that
be that we will not do it. Thanks again!
