excel2003.exe
winword2003.exe
powerpnt2003.exe
Then when I do Open As, I select the 2003.exe version and make sure that it opens to the old version.
Yeah I know, new office breaks old office code and screws up my PowerPoints.
Now can someone answer my question, how to I get office 2003 to run on windows 11 AND still have OneDrive working? The only solution I've found so far is to unlink OneDrive, but I've become hooked on OneDrive.

I love office 2003. Best version ever.
For newer OS versions they can sometimes run them in compatibility mode but truthfully its a nightmare with powerpoints contain a lot of shapes.
I personally use virtualbox and use a windows XP virtual machine to run office 2003. For one drive you would set up the folder on your windows 11 and then make a shared network drive on your virtual machine. No internet needs to be enabled on the virtual machine because windows XP + internet yipes!!!. I can discuss this more with you if needed since I think a VM is the only way to go for maximum performance.
Let me know how I can help.
