Word 2003

[newbie techie]

I am running office 2000 but word is very unstable. i would ugrade to office 2003 but it dosent come with access so the only option i have for now is to install word 2003 only. i cant upgrade to office xp or 2007 as i am doing this at work.
is there anything specific i need to do like rename any files etc or can i do a straight install??

Office 2003 Professional comes with Access. Maybe you don't have a suitable edition?

You can upgrade only the available Office components no problem.

Are you sure something like a clean install of Office 2000 and applying all the service packs and updates wouldn't work?
