Just to add to what has been said;
I had Office2k installed & installed Office 2003, not as a custom install,
simply default installation.
All ran fine, though I did'nt use word intensively - mainly Access

It definitely depends on how you do the install. Just to try what I said,
I installed Office 12 (2007) on a different computer. I did choose the
custom installation and told it not to overwrite the previous
installation. It attempted to install into the default Office directory
where I had Office 97. It possibly would have overwritten some of the 97
files. I changed it to Office-07 and it created the new directory and all
is well. Since I didn't want to attempt this test on a working machine
without the change, I don't know exactly what the outcome would have been.
This machine is a teaching machine and I use it constantly so I couldn't
afford a lot of downtime reloading if something went wrong. It currently
has Office 4.3 (Win 3.1 version) Office 97, 2000, 2002, 2003, & 2007 all
in separate folders (directories) setup on install and all function
properly. Never did get a copy of Office 95 to install.
I believe, but I may be wrong, that if you don't specify a new folder, the
media, template and clipart folders would be overwritten during the
install. This way, I know that they won't.

Is it not the case that all Office versions later than 2000 install to
version specific folders eg \Office11, \Office12 etc?

In addition to what DL said in reference to Home and Student not being
for commercial use (you can't make money with this version) you can run
2002 (XP) and 2007 side by side. When you install 2007 make sure you
use the custom installation and change the folder name to Office-07 or
something similar to keep the new installation from overwriting the old
files.
Second would be that the default file format for 2007 should be changed
to make the default format in each of the programs to be .doc, .ppt &
.xls instead of the original default.
Third, in Word, if you switch between the two versions the computer will
always try to install the version of Word you are now starting which
causes a delay in startup. There is a registry fix for this. Click
Start, Run, type Regedit and click OK, in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Office/10.0/Word/Options you need
to create a new key. Right click in the right pane and then left click
DWORD Value. Once the editable box appears at the end of the current
list type "NoRereg" in the box (without the quotes). Click outside the
box and then right click on the name you just typed. Click on Modify
and type the numeral 1 and then click OK.
Do the same thing for
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Office/12.0/Word/Options

Someone asked about 2002 on an old thread about 2003 & 2007, but nobody
answered. My question's similar, so I'll ask again.
I have some clients who have moved to 2007, but many who haven't.
another
consultant says there are formatting incompatibilities between 2007 and
older
versions, so I should stick with the older version (2002) until more
clients
upgrade. Therefore, I have two issue:
1) What I'd like to do is have Word/Excel/Powerpoint run w/both 2002 &
2007,
while I stay in Outlook 2002. Can I just buy the Office Home, install
it on
my two computers and have the 2002/07 versions run alongside each
other?
2) On a related question that's probably sales and not tech support, is
there a simple upgrade from the Home to the Professional when more of
my
clients are on 2007, or would I have to by Prof at full price?
