Hello Cody

Microsoft Office 2003 suites and applications aren’t compatible with Windows 8 (or Windows 8 Pro).

If you have Office 2003, it’s recommended that you upgrade to a newer version of Office to avoid any potential problems.

For more information, read this knowledge base article:

Office 2003 applications are not compatible with Windows 8

You should also go to the Windows Compatibility Center to see if the applications and devices on your PC are compatible with Windows 8.

Thanks...

    Hello,

    Yes, you are totally right, FrontPage is improtant for those people who want to upgrade there PCs into windows 8.

    Helpfully I have an idea which could solve the compatibility problem.

    Which is installing a "Vertual Machine" on your origenal PC. In this way, you can install Windows XP or even vista with the FrontPage pack.

    This will help you to use this program without any harms on your system and hardware.

    There are plenty of Virtual Machine programs. You can ask me to help you how to use.

    If you run Win8 for your computer. Why do you use Office 2010 for win8? Office has many function and eay creating effect when working. When you send your file to other person, You can save as with type offlice 2003.

    There can be several reasons to keep a certain version of MS Office. Technically they are not 100% compatible with each other and some issues will mean a huge amount of redeveloping documents to work properly. If you have a client who hasn't upgraded then it may well be worth keeping a PC available with the old version installed.
