and make a copy of the programs that I would use like word, excel, and ppt and COPY them as

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.

office2003-4-ever!

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.
