Default 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.

Very sorry to bother you again but how do I find the user folders for
2007 (and later 2002)?

I assume the change is made in the registry because I did not find it on
Word Options. I looked in the registry for mention of both folders,
including
Hkey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Common\Genera l\Office\12.0\ and
others but could not find where the template and start folders are
specified. Can you help?
