Actually, the user didn’t say anything about different versions of Office. They could install their 2003 copy on the Vista machine and won’t have any issues.

Your first answer above (compatability issues trtansferring files back and forth between Vista and XP) is only half answered. You say you ahve nevedr had any problems going betwwwn the two operating systems. I would agree to that as I have two XP and a Vista machine on a Small Business Server 2003. However, the person asking the question also asked about Office backward compatibility. I think you had better try opening Word 2007 documents with Word 2003 before you make the statement that you have never had compatibility issues. As far as I know Excel 2007 file can be opened in Excel 2003. However, Word 2007 in Word 2003 can cause xome major heartburn.
