| I didn't do my homework.
We upgraded my 85-year-old mother-in-law's computer and replaced her old VGA
screen with a modern graphics system so she can now view the pictures of her
great grand-daughter and other family members which are emailed to her and do
many other things. Unfortunately we had to buy a new copy of Office for her
and the only version of Office available is 2007.
She is now partially disabled and the computer is her main link with her
scattered family. She is only marginally computer literate but has always
used Word (up to 2003) and knew exactly how to do the limited range of things
she wanted/needed to do. She can't cope with the ribbon and is now
effectively out of touch. Is there anywhere we can buy a copy of Office 2003
to get her back in touch with the world?

PS - If any MVP replies that she's just "got to get used to it" and that
"it's very intuitive" I can only say that they will have my everlasting
curses on their heads and that it's obvious that they've either killed off or
are out of touch with their elderly relatives.
