With Word 2003 and 2007 installed, starting Word 2003 often fails
I have both legal versions installed, because I like the old menus in 2003,
not 2007. My documents are in Word 2003 format; they will open in Word 2007, but each time I do that it starts configuring 2007 again. If I try to go back to 2003, it again starts configuring. I had both versions on a laptop where this worked fine, so it's a puzzle to me. When I click on a Word file, I get the message "Office application version does not match." Sometimes I click OK, and it opens fine in Word 2003; most times lately I get an error message "Microsoft Office Word has stopped working..." If I go through this 2-3 times it may open fine -- or not! This is very frustrating and time-consuming. It also may happen if I just click on the desktop icon for 2003. I guess something is awry in the registry, but does anyone have a fix for this? Roger -- A moderately expert user of Office 1997, 2003, and 2007 |

I'm not sure I understand what you are doing. If you like the 2003 menus,
why are you using 2007 at all? I have both versions on my computer. If I want a file to open in 2003, I need to open that version and then open a file by clicking the File menu | Open| find the file, etc. If I just double-click on a file name, it opens in 2007.
