That salesman is either dishonest or technically clueless.

Office 2003 will work on Vista, just fine. However, it can’t be
"ported" from one computer to another. Assuming you have a retail
license for Office 2003 (OEM licenses are permanently bound to the
computer with which they’re originally purchased), you’ll have to use
your Office 2003 installation CD to install it on the new computer.
