Default Use of Word 2003 instead of Word 2007?

I have installed Office 2007 on a Vista machine with Office 2003. They are
installed on different folders as they can coexist.

I have also changed the file association for DOC documents to use Word 2003.
However, after a whole, when I open a DOC document, Word 2007 is started
(Instead of Word 2003).

On the other hand, I find that Excel / PowerPoint do not have this problem
(after changing the file association).

Is there any suggestion ?

Thanks

See http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm with respect to the
registry changes necessary to enable the two versions to co-exist.
