Office 2007 should not be avoided unless you're a caveman. the XML format(.docx, .xlsx, etc) that is now used by Office 2007 is what will soon be the standard. In many settings it already is the standard. Office 2003 won't be able to open files created in Office 2007 by default. If you use Word for more than just personal type/print functions, you're going to need 07 eventually.
