I have Office 2000....

[Bobbirch]

....which is on my new machine operating Windows 8. The new computer came with Office 365 which I do not need. I can create a Office 2000 doc, save it, re-open it and work away to my hearts content. This is not so for my wife who has her own account. Whenever she opens Office 2000, all is ok until she saves the doc and the system then saves in to Office 365. Because I will not fund Microsoft more than I have to I hope there is something simple I can do to solve the problem. All suggestions gratefully received. Thanks

First: Office 2000 is not compatible with Windows 7 or 8.

Secondly, it's not entirely clear to me whether you're trying to run Office 2000 and Office 365 on the same computer - or at least have both installed - and whether both users are using the same computer. Furthermore, Office 2000 doesn't save to Office 365; it seems most likely you have both versions installed and you're both using the same PC, but the file associations for Word documents are tied to Office 365 on your wife's account.

Thirdly, you should never install an older version of Office onto a PC that already has a later version installed; doing so can create all manner of problems.
