Can I run two version of MS Word/Office at the same time?
I have been using Office 2003 for several years and updated to Office
Ultimate 2007. I still need some of the functions that Office 2003 used for my 30 students who are still using the older version. Question: Can I run them both at the same on both MAC OS and Windows OS? |

On Windows you can run Office 2003 and 2007 next to each other. There can only be one version of Outlook on your system though. I can't say if the same holds for Mac OS. Yves |

As stated in the quoted message, you can run Office 2003 and Office 2007 on the
same computer, but note that you can only have one version of Outlook.

Although Outlook 2007 is clearly better than Outlook 2003, if you are
installing the trial version of Office 2007, may I suggest that you retain Outlook 2003 - at least until you decide to buy the application, as restoring Outlook 2003 should you change your mind about Office 2007 is a pain. If you are installing the retail version of Office 2007, install Outlook 2007 in place of Outlook 2003. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...

Can I run two version of MS Word/Office at the same time?
Your question is not very clear... Neither Office 2003 nor Office 2007 will
run on the Macintosh OS X operating system. Those versions are Windows OS only, so I don't understand where Mac comes into the equation. The documents created by the various versions of Office can be transported from one OS to the other, although there are some considerations in order to do so with a minimum amount of disturbance to the documents. Those considerations, however, aren't really anything new or extraordinary with few - primarily graphics related - exceptions. That being said, you can use Mac OS X Boot Camp to create a Windows partition & boot the Mac (Intel Only) as a Windows PC, in which case you can run Windows software. Alternatively you can install one of various Windows emulator applications (Parallels, VMWare Fusion, CrossOver) to install Window & Windows software as a virtual machine. This allows running Window & Mac OS X "side-by-side" & switching back & forth between Mac OS & the VM, which Boot Camp doesn't do - you boot into one OS & need to reboot in order to use the other. Either way, however, you're bound by the EULA for any installation of Windows as well as the PC software you use. IOW, you legally can't install the same copy of Windows on a PC & a Mac any more than you can install the same copy on 2 separate PCs unless you purchase a multi-license package. Out of curiosity, what "functions" do you need from Office 2003 that aren't provided in 2007?

I am currently running both Office 2003 and Office 2007 on my PC and on my
laptop. I knew I would need to do that (client requirements) and need to keep two licenses, so I purchased Office 2007 instead of upgrading Office 2003. So the "technical" answer to your question as regards PCs is yes you can have two, or more, versions of Office installed on a single PC (except for Outlook). I have even (quite accidentally) had two version of Word running at once with no ill effects. PamC Jan14 wrote: I have been using Office 2003 for several years and updated to Office Ultimate 2007.
