While Office 2003 is compatible with Vista, what type of installation disk
for Office 2003 do you have?

If it is labeled OEM or For use with a new PC it can not "legally" be
transferred to another computer.

If there is no such label on the disk you can safely install it onto a
different PC. If it is a retail version just install it. If it is an
upgrade you need to have the qualifying version of Office 97 to Office 2002
(XP) or one of the qualifying Works programs disk available when the
installation of '03 asks for the qualifying product.

We will try to answer any further questions.

Hope this helps, let us know.
