Hi from a newbie on this forum...

I've just received my shiny new HP desktop all in one to replace my damaged old one (Hard drive rescued and in fine condition).

It comes with Windows 11 which is fine and it's asking me to install Office 365 but I still much prefer the older Office 2003 for my Word documents, for me it's just a lot simpler than the newer version. Almost all my documents on the HDrive are Word 2003, my question is how can I open then them now and edit them if necessary? Do I need a compatibility pack and if so where can I get one from?
I know that Office isn't supported anymore and there are security issues etc etc but I really don't want to change unless I have to, I'm sure Office 365 is amazing - just not for me!

Any help form you guys would be a real Christmas present!
