Microsoft Office 2003

Microsoft Office 2003 is an office suite written and distributed by Microsoft for their Windows operating system. Released to manufacturing on August 19, 2003 and launched on October 21, 2003, it was the successor to Office XP and the predecessor to Office 2007. It is the final version of Office to have the 97-2003 format as default across all applications, as well as being the final version to include the toolbar and menu interfaces across the core applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and parts of Outlook). A compatibility pack was released for Office 2003 for new OOXML formats in 2007.
