Windows and MAC
Yes. All 2007 Office applications work with Windows 7.
No. Office 2007 requires Windows.
YES, it works on windows xp and good
Microsoft Office 2007 was only available for the Windows operating system. If you have a disk with Office 2007 for Windows it will not work with Mac OS X. If you have the Windows operating system on your Mac then it will work with that. For Mac OS X you will need a specific version of Microsoft Office for Macs (See links below) . Office 2008 was the last Mac version but this is about to be replaced by Office 2011 any day now.
It depends on version of word. 2003, 2007, 2010 should work just fine.
no
It is possible to run Microsoft's Access on a MacBook Pro with Parallels Desktop. Parallels creates a virtual Windows computer on the Mac where you can run your Windows software. The Access database will need to be on the Windows side - either on the Parallels virtual disc or a connected Windows network as it will not be recognised if located on the Mac OS X hard disc.
Office XP, 2003, 2007 and 2010. Older ones may work, but are unsupported.
Yes.
Yes. As an owner of Windows 8 and Microsoft Office 2010, I can fully prove that it is possible. Also, since I know a person who happens to work for Microsoft, Microsoft Office 2013 will run on Windows 8 as well (when you plan to buy it).
Yes, for the most part the two are compatible, however Access 2007 creates a new type of database format (ACCDB) that Access 2003 cannot read (it uses MDB). There are some new features in Access 2007 that 2003 does not have (obviously), but if you're using a database that's formatting for 2000 or 2003, then Access 2007 can work with it seamlessly. My advice is that if you have users on multiple versions of Access, then use the database file format with the OLDEST version common to everyone. Richard Rost AccessLearningZone.com
