Default Done! Reinstalling earlier version of Office

It should not be necessary to uninstall Office 2007 first. They will install
into different program folders - but share some default user folders -
unless you change them first as in my previous message.

The same should apply to Windows 7 - though the dialogs may be different.

Did it! Saved my registry using ERUNT, modified it as suggested by Doug,
found and copied the folders as suggested by Graham and chnaged the
locations defined in Word Options then installed only Word 2002 into a
separate folder.

Opened an old Word 2002 doc in it and it seems to be fine.

One strange thing: when I view the document page in 2002 in Print
layout, I see half a square in each page corner. It obviously marks the
margins and is not a problem but they were not there in my previous
installation of Word 2002. What are they?

Thanks for all the help.
