Re: Multiple version compatability

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

First, who said I'm "making money" with my consulting? ;-)

Seriously, that's not a concern. I'd be continuing to use 2003 for Outlook
and most of the rest of the Suite. I'd only use the others to downrev
products I get and to get used to it on the home, non-work machine.

Next year, after the 1gb Vista SP comes out, I'll uprev the work version to
Pro and switch over. 'Aint life grand?

Second, thanx for the info on the registry. I'll keep it in mind if I see
the problem.

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?
