Microsoft Office 2019 and 2021 for Mac view-only conversion (2026) is a scheduled remote degradation of perpetually-licensed Microsoft Office software for macOS...
When I sold customers office a couple years ago. I would give them two options, you can go with MS365( or what ever bullshit they call it now) and pay the yearly subscription to always have the newest product. Or you could buy perpetuals and hope they don’t start sunsetting perpetuals faster than they did back then. They have always made perpetuals unusable after 6+ years through one mechanism or another.
I actually have never had to deal with office 2003 in a professional capacity, so I could not tell you. From what I remember the word processor always worked, it was Outlook that did not work eventually. After end of life they don’t add new auth methods to the old software. Running Office 2013 and Outlook 2021 side by side was a disaster.
Is that office 2003 works on my system? Or Office 2003 at 3 different customers with an endless variety of hardware and OS combinations, mostly works?

Office 2003 still works just fine friend.
