If you use Start -Word 2007 to open a file, then later you use Start-Word
2003 there will a long and annoying pause while Office does some
reinstalling stuff. This is not a problem with the two versions of Excel

Hi. I'm posting to a Word an an Excel group, because I suspect and
hope the answer is the same but fear it might not be.
At work yesterday I installed Office 2007 (except Outlook) on the
same computer where I had office 2003. I'm still able to open and run
Excel 2003 and Word 2003, but when I double-click on an .RTF or .DOC
or .XLS file the 2007 program opens.
I want to retain the 2003 file associations for all file types that
Office 2003 can cope with. I thought I could do this with "Open
With..." and selecting the 2003 programs through browsing, but
unfortunately Windows ignores that selection.
My question: how can I set things up so that Office 2007 opens .docx
and .xlsx files when I double-click them, but Office 2003 opens .doc
and .rtf and .xls files when I double-click them?

A: Maybe because some people are too annoyed by top posting.
Q: Why do I not get an answer to my question(s)?
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top posting such a bad thing?
