What do you mean by "integrate"? Are you referring to document conversion? Also, you refer to Works, and also to Word 2002 - are there issues with this also?

It might be a whole new ballgame now, but I had Works and Office 97 and they didn't like being on the same computer at all. Most of the forms and documents couldn't be read by the other app. Maybe it's changed

let me rephrase this. the laptop cam standard with works suite but the suite has word 2002. office 2007 has word 2007. i want word 07, not 02. both are vista compatible. i need the features of office 07, and i like works but not word 02.

Before I upgraded to Vista Ultimate, I had Professional Office 2007 installed and when I tried to install Microsoft Works 8 I had several errors come up that I couldn't resolve. The only way to correct was to uninstall Works. Can't remember the exact error message but I didn't want it on my system.

Maybe in the last two months this problem has been corrected but I just haven't wanted to create more problems for a new operating system that Vista already has.
