How to Install Office 2000 on Windows Vista
Microsoft Office 2000 was released a few years prior to Windows Vista. Microsoft has stopped official support for Office 2000, and therefore no fixes or patches will be released for any issues arising from using Office 2000 on Vista. Microsoft has officially stated that Office 2007 and Office 2010 are the best options for use on Vista. That being said, it is possible to install Office 2000 on Windows Vista.
