HI all,
Can anyone tell me if office will run on VISTA before I load it on or will it be safe to put a restore point and then try to install and run to see !!!!
Thanks
Ned     :-?It will work fine.
Make a system restore point if you want, it's an extra layer of security if something goes wrong.System REQUIREMENTS for OpenOffice.org 2 mentions Windows Vista with the parenthetical note: (enhanced Vista integration from version 2.2).  The page for Instructions for Downloading and INSTALLING OpenOffice.org 2.0 also mentions Vista.  

So, I'd say go ahead with your plan.  Create a restore point first and then install it.  Let us know how it goes.Thanks Guys,
I am going to go for it

Thanks again.My copy has been working for ALMOST three months.And there is also a portable version for thumb drives in case you need to take work with you to and fro...

Available portable apps .com.And, if you have a U3 Smart flash DRIVE, you can get a version of OpenOffice for it.  Thanks, Guys
all seems to be up and running OK at the moment
