Default Reinstalling earlier version of Office

In addition to the link Doug has provided, I would urge you to change the
Word User templates folder and the Word start-up folder to new folders and
copy the files from old locations to new, before attempting to install 2002.
When you have installed 2002 change its User templates and Start-up folders
to new (different from 2007) locations also.

Thank you both for your help. Before I proceed (with trepidation) help
me clarify some issues:

a) Unless I misunderstood it, the link Doug provided is to hack the
registry to "Use Word 2000/3 Toolbars in Word 2007". Later it says "if
you run Word 2007 and an earlier version such as Word 2003 together"
..... and proceeds to the registry hack. I am not clear if the registry
hack is to "Use Word 2000/3 Toolbars in Word 2007" or to run Word 2002
and 2007 concurrently, or for both.

Could you please clarify for me?
(Also it says it is for Windows XP and I am in W7 but I assume it is the
same hack).

b) I assume - perhaps mistakenly - from your instructions that it is not
necessary to first uninstall Word 2007. Is that correct?

Again thank you for all the help you provide. It is wonderful that you
do this for persons you do not even know.
