Office XP (2002) Compatible With Vista

Can anyone tell me whether Office XP (2002) runs without any major problems
on Windows Vista? I see that Office XP isn't on the Certified For Windows
Vista or Works With Windows Vista lists.

It should work fine with the exception of Outlook which has a few issues

Outlook won't remember your password.

Thanks Bob and Peter, I guess that closes this one.

I have Office XP Professional 2002 and have ordered a new puter w/Vista. I
assume that you have installed XP 2002 and found no difficulties. Please let
me know. I also have Office Small Business 2007 but would like to use the
2002 edition.

Thanks

Although it's not supported, Office XP should run okay on Vista with one
exception that I know of. Outlook will not retain your password.

JoAnn,

Many thanks. I will install Publisher and Access from 2002 then everything
else from my Office 2007 Small Business. Great help from your answer!
