Default Can two versions of Word be installed?

Is it possible to install 2 versions of Word? So I don't have to overwrite
exisiting 2002 with 2007 upgrade?

On Vista, I use OfficeXP.
Because Word2007 has some features I need, I'll have to upgrade.

However, since I'm a power Office user, initially I can't afford the time to
learn 2007, so would like to keep my 2002 installation so my daily output is
not impeded.

Same question with Excel.

Thanks.

As Maurice indicates, you can have both Office versions (or whatever parts
of them you need) installed at the same time - even on screen at the same
time - except for Outlook of which you can only have one version. It should
take you all of five minutes to realise Outlook 2007 is the better product.

See http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm which explains how to
configure Office to allow them to work together. The page uses Office 2003
as an example. The only differences to note are that Office 2003 is Office
11.0, whereas 2002 is Office 10.0
