How can I use an old version when my installed Word is the latest


You buy a copy of the older version.

You also get a copy of VirtualPC, set up a virtual machine and load the old version onto that, so that the old version doesn't interfere with your Office 2003 on your main machine. On my PC I have VMs set up for every version of Office from 97 onwards, for precisely this reason.

Whether you design using the oldest or newest, if you plan to support multiple versions of Office, you stand no chance at all of being able either to test adequately or to reproduce bugs reported by customers unless you have available *all* the versions of Office that you plan to support.
