I use 2003, is there a huge difference? Is 2002 more user friendly or is that just the one you are required to have?

Word 2003 or 2000 or 2002?
Hi y'all. I have to change from WOrd 97 to Word 2003 or 2000 or 2002?
Do y'all have a FAVORITE, and can you tell me WHY? Just a short email would do it and would be so appreciated here.
Thanks everyone for input. I really appreciate it. I'm using XP Media Center 2005 and it has 2003 on it that I can buy. My main thing was that with it I could not do like 5mg and have the space between the drug dose automatically come in from my expander. But, as soon as I get the new version of Word, I'm getting Instant Text and maybe that will help. I need to upgrade so I can purchase the IT and Steadman's, and Steadman's needs a newer version. Also, I'd like to get some newer features than 97, hopefully one of the newer versions will be more conducive to production?
Thanks to all who reply. You can email me or post. Thanks much.
Can you transfer them from Word 2002 to Word 2003?
I was able to transfer mine from one computer to another when I had Word 2002 on both of them. Now I have a new computer with Word 2003, and have not been able to do it. The autocorrect has a different file name.
Word 2007, Word 2002, or 2003
How many transcriptionists have switched to these versions of Word? I am still using Word 2000, and it works well for me, but have been offered job with a company that uses Word 2007, and another company that will let you use Word 2002 or 2003. I am fighting this and am at the point where I just might not accept a new job because of this change. I can't imagine why they would want to change from Word 2000. Your opinions, please. Thank you.
No, the Works Suite 2003 and 2005 have Word 2002.

65 character line versus gross lines versus pay by word
I am checking into other options for transcription. Can anyone tell me how to compare all of these types of lines & also payment per word? I know companies use different scales, so I wondered how they compare. I have been paid on a 65 character line with spaces, but I may be making a change in the future - don't want to get burned.
Thank you in advance!
what version of Word do you have? Here's a link for Word 2002 -sm
This looks like a long and drawn out thing to do, but it's not that hard really.
When I did it, I checked and found that I had the support template already in the folder, so I was able to skip down to "Back up your AutoCorrect entries on source computer." It's named support.dot and is found here:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10Macros
Just following the instructions closely, it was really easy.
If you don't have Word 2002, I think there are other methods avaialable.

word97 versus 2003
All of my accounts and clients are in Word97. I was from the old school of wp5.1 so took me a long time to transition forms over to word97. I was wondering if anyone working originally in 97 could tell me what the differences could be and how hard transitioning forms, etc could be.
I seem to be getting a lot of error boxes all of a sudden with word97 and was just thinking may be time to move up....
thank you for any help in this matter

Office 2003 versus 2007
Hi,
I am still working in Office 2003 but have been considering Office 2007. Is anyone using this? Do you like it? Do you know if programs like Shorthand, Abacus, and other transcription programs work with it? Is it possible to have Office 2003 and Office 2007 on the same computer without interfering with the one another??
Word 2002
Try E-Bay--that's where I got mine.
Word 2002
I ordered an OEM version of MS Works Suite 2004 from an online discount software distributor, and it came with it. I had MS Word 2000 that was corrupted. I do not remember the name of the distributor, but I think it started with a V. I think I typed in "discount software" or "cheap software" and that came up. Word 2002 also comes in Works Suite 2005, as that was on a new computer I bought.
Word 2002 help
I have a problem that's driving me crazy. When typing in Word, it will automatically capitalize the beginning of a new sentence, EXCEPT when the prior sentence ends in a number. Does anyone know how to change this so that it will capitalize a new sentence following a number? TIA

Where can I get Microsoft Word 2002? sm
Is there a place on-line where I can purchase it and download it? If not, where can I get a good deal on it? I need it ASAP!
Thanks

Sorry about that, I am using Word 2002! Thanks for the info about the key assigments. sm
I did try searching for help in the office assistant and didn't really get much help. It always seems that there are other people out there who are sooo incredibly proficient at Word that it amazes me. I have only been using Word for about 6 to 7 months now, after using WP5.1 for about 4 years. Thanks
I'm using Word 2002 with Vista with no problems. nm

You'd be limiting yourself. It only works in MS Word 2000 & 2002.
Lots of people have had problems getting Smartype to work in Word 2003 and you can forget 2007. It doesn't work in different platforms either. You'd be much better off looking at ShortHand or Instant Text.
Microsoft Word.. The oold Word used to do this and I'm new to 2003 Word..nm

My Word 2002 shows plus or minus symbols in outline view.
Are you sure you're in outline view?
Info/help on open Word 2007 docx with Word 2003.
I have a friend who sent me a document with .docx extension, presumably Word 2007. I can open it in Word 2003; however, all I see are musical notes and highlighting, no text (this is a document with words and highlighting only, no pictures, music notes, etc.). I tried to open this with Notepad and only see the usual gibberish.
I know I opened another 2007 Word doc before and I remember seeing the converter load at that time but that was probably a year ago. Is there something that has changed that I'm not aware of?
Darn Microsoft.
Is any one running ExText with Word 2000 and EditScript with Word 2003 sm
I am interested to know if anyone is running two platforms with a different version of Word on one computer.
I am running eScription's ES with Word 2003 and want to run ExText but their version of Word is 2000. Has anyone done this or doing it now. If so, have you run into any problems.
I can't seem to get a straightforward answer from the Techs at either company. I can't just load ExText and jeopardize it interfering with eScription.
I am interested to hear any and all comments. Thank you so much in advance for any help!
Changing Excel 2003 Addresses Into Word 2003 Addresses
Hello !
I have a large amount of addresses listed on an Excel 2003 spreadsheet. I need these addresses for Word 2003 letters. I end up copying the address from Excel and pasting it into Word, but as you can imagine, the pasted address is in a straight line and I end up having to type the address so it displays correctly for a letter. Does anyone know if there is a simple way to change the Excel address format to a Word letter address format? Thank you for your help.
Switching from Word 2000 to Word 2003...
Has anyone upgraded from W2000 to W2003? If so, did all your autocorrect entries and normals transfer easily? I would like to upgrade but don't want 2 lose my shortcuts and expanders! TIA 
I dunno about Word 2007 but Word 2003
has AutoCorrect, which is probably what you're meaning. When you program a macro, it records your Keystrokes and actions and is more complicated than what you're needing.
In Word 2003, type the word/phrase you want (i.e., degenerative disc disease) then highlight it. Go to Tools, AutoCorrect Options, and your highlighted word should be in the "with" box. Type your shortcut (i.e., ddd) in the "replace" box. Click Add then OK. To use the new entry, just type what you put in the replace box (ddd). No other keys necessary. I would guess it should be about the same in Word 2007.
Hope that helps! Feel free to email if you have more questions...
Word 2003 and Word 2007....
If you have Word 2003 and upgrade to Word 2007 - will you still be able to access your Word 2003 documents?
I am still kinda confused on this as everything I have read about this states that the Word 2003 files will be opend in a "compatibility" form, as opposed to normal.
Would it be in my best interest to save the Word 2003 files to a disk first?
Actually Word 97 through 2003 (sm)
are essentially the same. A document created in 2003 can be opened in 97 with no problems. You aren't missing anything and you saved a bundle!

Word 97 to 2003
I am finding that my Word 97is bogging down and two accounts that I work use 2003 and I believe there might be interference between the two programs. I would like to know if anyone has transitioned their documents to 2003 and if there have been any complications.
Thanks

Buy the student version. My daughter did and it was so much cheaper and works just as well.
Word 2003 help
HELP! I've used Word 2003 for years. I bought a new computer with XP, NOT Vista, loaded the program back on and it seems to work fine EXCEPT I always worked in normal view, just like it better. However, now in normal view will NOT display the entire status bar words as before; i.e., Ln does NOT show up. For example, if I wanted to skip to Line 6.75 or whatever, I have no clue where it is. Print view, I know, displays all of this. In normal view, it never shows page breaks either which it did before. My problem is, I really like to work in normal view and have done so for years with the above items showing up on the status bar. The status bar is there at the bottom but won't display Ln at all. I have two reference books and cannot for the life of me figure thisout. Any ideas? Perhaps reinstalling it again???

I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post on, but does anybody know where they sell MS Word 2003 alone (not the Office package)? Thanks!

Thanks everybody!
Word 2003 help please.
Hi all!
I accidently bumped something -- I have no clue what! But now I have two tools bars on my Word 2003 screen and I cannot seem to get rid of the duplicate. Any ideas? Thanks! 
Word 2003
Not sure of how to help with that - but was told by the IT people where I work not to update to the newest version or it would interfere with the connection with Escription -
Word 2003
 I tried that -- it didn't remove the double tool bar and I didn't update anything either so it didn't get messed up from any updates -- just me typing too fast and hitting something that I shouldn't have. Ugh!

MS Word 2003 sm
I need the regular (not student/teacher) version of MS Word 2003 for eScription. Does anyone know where these can be purchased? Microsoft is now pushing their word 2007 so I haven't had any luck on their site. Without purchasing the entire MS Office 2003, any ideas???
TIA
In Word 2003... sm
Go to the top where the drop down menus are. Go to "Tools" "Autocorrect Options" "Autoformat As You Type" and check or uncheck the boxes as you prefer. There is one for a fractions and for 1st.
I don't have 2000 so I can't tell you how it is different off the top of my head.

If you only want Word 2003, it is difficult to find one even on E-Bay. I also have been looking for it. I don't want the entire 2003 Suite, just Word 2003. If you find one, please let me know where. Thanks.

word 2003
I just recently purchased works 2008 with word 2003 through an online store on ebay for $59. This was just in the last week. I don't remember the name of the store, but it was out of Arizona. Just go into ebay and do a search for word 2003 and you will find it. Good luck with your test. You definitely want to make sure you have good references and if you are going to be working from home, you may want to make sure you update. I just had to, am working from home now after 13 years of working on site. Stedmans sure got a nice chunk of money from me lol. You can actually get download versions of the books right onto your computer so you won't have to wait for the mailman. If you need to get a pedal try www.tvps.com (Executive Communication Systems), this is where I have found the best deals on the pedals I needed. The best of luck to you.

Does anyone know where I can find Word 2003 for cheap if at all possible? I need it to begin a new job but of course, I hardly ever have any money. I tried ebay but some want over 100.00 and i can't do that right now.
word 2003
That was me. I did indeed get Word 2003 with a copy of Works 2008 plus from Glendale, AZ on ebay for $59.95. The seller is dimensiongifts-2008. I am using it every day with no problems.
Good luck.
