office 2003 verses office xp

[Sher]

Hi all,
We are using Office 97 currently and will be upgrading soon. My question is
which version of office should I go with, office 2003 or office xp.
We are a medium non profit business one building, one domain site. We do
not do business over the internet or have a web server. It seems that office
2003 has alot of features for the web built in. I don't want my users to
have a huge learning curve going to 2003.
First, which would you suggest to upgrade to. Second, if it is 2003 then is
there a way to turn off all the bells and whistles that will probably confuse
my users?
Was office 2003 designed for a more in depth product for interent business
users or is it designed for even small businesses to use.
Do you know of a comparison chart between xp and office 2003? Should I go
with the latest and greatest and is xp going to be obsolete down the road?
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

You will have a bit of difficulty finding a place that sells Office XP now.

Also check the system requirements. Office 2003 requires a compatible
version of Windows such as Windows XP. Office 2003 is not compatible with
older versions of Windows such as Windows 9.X or Me. Office XP is
compatible with older versions of Windows.
