    Do you guys think Office 2003 is better than 2000? I think my dad can get 2003 for free from his work (a university), so I wonder if I should ask him to get it. He brought me Office 2000 that he had lying about, so I installed that. But 2003 is probably better, though, right? I know newer software isn't always better, especially with microsoft, so that's why I ask. Any opinions?

    I prefer 2003's outlook to 2000's, and 2003 comes bundled with publisher (in the pro version anyway), Word.. meh its about the same if you ask me, i wrote my dissertation in 2003's word it gets messy over 15k words, and you are constantly fighting with the formatting.. although a lot of that might have been the fact I was writing it on pure nicotine and caffeine at 4am ^_^

    There is one major improvement that started from Office 2002, and that is the sidebar. You can perform tasks from the sidebar and work on a document at the same time.
