Version compatibility

Beginning in 2002, Microsoft instituted a new support lifecycle policy. Versions earlier than Office XP are no longer supported. For current and future versions of Office mainstream support will end five years after release, or two years after the next release, whichever time is later, and extended support will end five years after that.
