Greetings.

I am having issues after an installation of MS Office Project 2007. Some people said that there are problems after its installation; that it has some kind of compatibility issue with Microsoft Office 2003. Is there truth to this?

Please do share. I’d be very grateful!

Issues after an installation of MS Office Project 2007

Hi there Erik S Trigg,

 

Every version of the Office is different and there are always some problems with compatibility, so this one is not the exception.

 

There shouldn't be any problems running either, MS Office 2003 or MS Office Project 2007, but you should be aware that you won't be able to open project files from MS Project 2007 in your MS Office 2003, or you will be able to open them only in a read-only mode. You will need to install the service packs to avoid this problem. They can easily be found and downloaded at the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/office-service-packs.aspx?q=office&fs=producttype~%255e%2522Service%2520Pack%2522%2524%3bapplicableproducts~%255eOffice.

 

With all service packs and updates, the combination of those two softwares shouldn't make any troubles, but still, I would strongly recommend you to use the same version of your software to avoid any potential difficulties.

 

Best regards,

Drake Vivian
