| 667400 | 2008-05-09 00:01:00 | In the office here we have 3 XP Computers connected thru Lan and a robotics 4 port modem. We are going to add another computer probally with Vista. My question is will there likely be any probs with say Vista using info from an XP machine. We use Office 2003 mainly plus some Map programs etc. |

| 667402 | 2008-05-09 02:14:00 | Yes realise that the programmes would need to be on both, but are there any likely problems with XP loading docs from vista and vice versa. |

| 667403 | 2008-05-09 02:17:00 | No I dont think so, both should open whatever. Just as long as they've got whatever program, to open whatever format the file is in. |

| 667404 | 2008-05-09 05:37:00 | Hi Arnie. Possible problem with Fonts? Vista loaded extra fonts on to my machine when I replaced XP, keeping Word 2003. What will happen if your Vista machine creates a "common" document incorporating one of the new fonts and then an XP machine opens it? Even when they are both using Word 2003? I know that the XP machine will find a replacement font but it could crap on any really fancy layout ..... Just a thought. It is possible to download Vista fonts for XP machines but is your workload worth it? ;) | Scouse (83) | ||
