Processes in Microsoft 365 for setting up Office apps, redeeming product keys, and activating licenses.
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...
