You need the Professional version I'm afraid.

From http://www.microsoft.com/office/edit.../compare.mspx:

"Office Professional Edition 2003 includes additional support for Extensible
Markup Language (XML) and information rights management (IRM) and allows you
to use Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System. "
