Default using Word 2003 and 2007 on the same computer?

Hi All,
I'd like to use both Word 2003 and 2007 on the same computer. If I install them while logged in as guest user 1 and guest user 2, will it work? I am a developer for a product that might be used by users for both Word versions.

With the exception of Outlook, you can run multiple versions of every
Microsoft Office application next to each other. So you can run Word 2003
and 2007 next to each other even as the same user.

Thank you for your input, Yves,

So, ... if I proceed to install Word2007 and I already have 2003 installed, there will then be two links on my desktop or two
references in Start/ All Programs with one labeled Word2003 and one labeled Word2007?

Cheers,

Gil

For a registry entry that prevents the two versions of Word from fighting over
the shared entries, see

Hi Jay,
Hmmm. I am familiar with editing the registry but it still appears a little problematic. And judging by the responses thus far,
setting up separate guest users might not work so well either. I might give the registry change a try. I'll plan on tuning back in
to this group tomorrow to see if there are more responses.
Thanks... as always
Gil
