Now someone may be having some difficulties trying to get the compatibility pack for the office 2003. For those that have no idea about it and what it can be used for, the microsoft compatibility pack is a software developed by the software guru (Microsoft corporation) to cater for the needs of  users who still make use of the lower version of Office which limits them to the accessing of files created with higher version. The compatibility software can be very important in the times of opening of files created with a higher version of office.

Do I Need To Get It Installed? Or What?

Yea. The compatibility software for word,excel, access etc, needs to be installed on your system as this helps your system to translate higher versions of files created with offices into lower versions thereby making it accessible to you. For example, if someone sends me a file created with office 2007, and my system does have only office 2003 , i may not be able to access the file that was sent to be as a result of earlier versions. Some times when things like that occur, the lower version prompts you to make necessary installation of either a compatibility software that can make it accessible or download the particular version of office that was used to create that file.
