MOSS 2007 and Office versions - Robbi

Greetings,

I got a question.
In my company i'm curently testing a MOSS 2007.
I know there are a lot of features that only work in Office 2007.

What i would like to know is what features work with what version of Office.
I know merging calenders only works in Office 2007, but adding calenders
also works in 2003.

The problems i run into is with Office 2000.
A few people in my organisation still use office 2000.
I noticed that editing documents is not well supported with office 2000 and
MOSS 2007.

Is there a workaround, update or patch that i can apply so Office 2000 users
can use more functionality's of MOSS 200?

Look at the "Good, Better, Best" document that compares the functionality of - Mike Walsh

Look at the "Good, Better, Best" document that compares the functionality of
Office 2K; Office XP and Office 2003 when used with the SharePoint 2003
products.

That is the functionality that you will have with those products with the
2007 SharePoint products.

For the additional functionality (in connection with office products) you
will need Office 2007.

There is no such patch or workaround - Microsoft's aim is to get you to
upgrade Office to match your SharePoint version.

(There is a workaround in the WSS FAQ for getting Edit in to work with
Office 2K but that's all)

Are they going to produce this document for SharePoint 2007? - Dave W

Are they going to produce this document for SharePoint 2007?

I think we can safely assume that they will. - Mike Walsh

I think we can safely assume that they will. (and probably quicker than the
document came out for SPS 2003/WSS and Office 2003.
