Microsoft Works

Works was never available for free and that isn't to change anytime soon. The fact you have a copy of Works 6 but no product key suggests it isn't a licensed copy, in which case, you can't legally use it. Given that Office is available for quite a low cost these days, I suggest a visit to http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/cat/Office/categoryID.62684700 is in order.

i don't want the new office. It doesn't works as well as Office 2000, XP, and 2003.

I beg to differ - I have both Office 2003 and 2010 installed on my PC and previously used Office 2000 (and earlier versions) for many years. I have used both extensively. Office 2010 is a much superior product. Office 2013 offers other improvements, though some changes are a step back from Office 2010.

Even if you could obtain a legitimate copy of Works 6, it would not be compatible with any modern version of Windows. Works 8 or 9 (if you can find either of those) will run on Win 7 & 8, though. See: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/CompatCenter/Home

 The reasons I feel Office 2000, XP, 2003, were better because:

 Word XP offered great tools to make a professional webpage. It was easy to add photos or hyperlinks. Office Word 2007 and up is not compatible with webpages you made using Word XP. Also, It is impossible to make a web page on Word 2007, 2010, 2013, it looks good when you're making it but when you save it, then open it in a web browser everything is messed up and out of place. It just worked on Word XP. PowerPoint XP, 2003 had a huge pile of themes for your slides. Office 2000, XP, 2003 included Office assistants that were awesome, entertaining  and much better than a boring search box.

 And you said

"Even if you could obtain a legitimate copy of Works 6, it would not be compatible with any modern version of Windows. Works 8 or 9 (if you can find either of those) will run on Win 7 & 8, though. See: "

Why would I want to install Office 2000, XP, or 2003 on 7 or 8 if I can run it on one of my Windows XP computers?

If true, that's probably because Word XP (hardly one of MS's better efforts) isn't compliant with current standards. If you want to design web pages, Works is hardly the appropriate tool - use a proper web-design app.

As for your final question, so you can get the benefits of technology that is both far more capable, compliant and secure than Works 6 & Win XP, which have both long-since passed their use-by dates (i.e. neither is supported any more), could ever be.

Just to clarify, Works does not include Microsoft Word, nor does it require a product key.

There were some versions of Works Suite which included Word, but that would not have been free, and the version included fizzled out around Word XP (Word 2002 - which was not one of Microsoft's high points in word processor history). You can use Works 6 without the Word component. They are completely separate products outside the packaging.

Incidentally, I agree with Paul. Word 2010 was the high point of Microsoft's word processor development. Word 2013 is something of a curate's egg.

 Hardly one of MS's best efforts? It was one of the best versions of Office ever made!

How is it so bad if it can make a basic webpage and the newer Office's can't?

I am not not going to use a "web designing app" because as i stated before, i am making Basic webpages!

Furthermore, i know XP isn't supported anymore so you aren't telling me anything new.

And "i.e" isn't the only browser compatible with XP.

I think you need a reality check.

Your claim the "the newer Office's can't" make a basic webpage is ridiculous and displays gross ignorance.

As for compatibility, I.E. isn't the issue. The issue is one of compatibility with international standards. Standards change over time, XP is stuck in the dark ages.

 Ok this thread has just become a battle with an arrogant MVP. I came here for answers, not insults.

Are you saying I display "gross ignorance"? Because I don't like the inferior new Office's? because that is just rude.

 No one if forcing you to use XP so don't preach to about how horrible XP is.

All Word versions up to and including Word 2013 can save 'basic' HTML web pages.

Office XP was very much an interim product between the much better Office 2000 and Office 2003. It was quickly dropped in favour of the latter. All three are long discontinued and no longer supported. It is recommended that you move on to more current and more secure products.

As with all advice, you are free to ignore it.
