Hi Robert,

Word and Powerpoint files from Office 2003 will open
in their Office 2000 counterparts but if the new versions
used features exclusive to those newer versions you'll
lose them or not get the same results in the earlier version.
If you're going to be working in both versions then in
the newer version, of Word for example, use the 2000
compatability settings.

For Publisher you'd have to use File=>Save as and
save to the Publisher 2000 format.
