Reverting to a previous version of Office

B

Blind_billy

I am currently running Word/Excel?access/Power Point/FrontPage 2002. The
files in my office are all geared to using Office 2000. I have the setup
files to install Office 2000. is there anything I need to do before going
backwards in the instalation? Do I need to go back through all the documents
I saved and save them as 2000 documents?

No - and you don't need anything special in OfficeXP to read documents
created in older versions of Office. The applications are "backwards
compatible". And Office 2000 apps should be able to read (most if not all)
files created in Office XP.
