Even Office 2002 (Office XP) would work with Vista as well as MS Office. MS Office 2007 will work with Windows XP Pro SP2.
It is even possible to get newer versions of Office to work on older Windows versions and vice versa but I won't get into that here.

As, Jholland mentioned, Open Office is an excellent yet free alternative to MS Office.

The differences between Office 2000, 2002 (XP) and 2003 are very trivial for every day use by novice users, Office 2007 is different from ground up which uses .xml coding, etc.
