2003 and 2007
I am using Vista Home Premium and Office 2007 academic version.
Is it possible to install Office 2003 on my computer as well, running independently from 2007? Gus Porteners |

Thank you for the quick reply; what service!!
It seems then that as long as I don't run the 2 versions together there is no interaction. That would completely solve my problem. Gus "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

Thank you Dian for your advice; luckily both my versions are not OEM nor
upgrades. I take it that there is no lag between Office 2007 and 2003 if I run them separately, both installed on the same computer though. Gus "Dian D. Chapman, MVP" wrote in message ...

No! You WILL get the reinstall components lag time if both are on the
same system because say you open 2003...it needs to reset the registry so that IT is the head honcho version. Then if you open 2007...it wants to be in charge so it'll reset all the registry settings to its own version. If you don't switch often, it's not all that big of a deal (although 2007 can take its sweet time doing the update!). But if you switch as often as I do...it'll make you crazy! Hope that helps (and what you meant???) Dian D.

You can run both together, even on screen at the same time, but only one of
them can be the default. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org xtr692969 wrote: Thank you for the quick reply; what service!!

Yes Dian, that is the answer. The only thing i wonder about is if I can get
any crazier than I am now anway.... Not that it matters at my hexadicimal age of 56. Thanks Gus "Dian D. Chapman, MVP" wrote in message ... No!
