Multiple versions of Office on one laptop
Is it possible to have & use multiple versions of Office on the same
computer? Our company has XP/2002 and one maverick management type wants to use Office2007. My question is whether it works &/or advisable to have more than one version of Office. Thanks!

Yes, it works...but not Outlook. Only one version of Outlook at a time.

Multiple versions of Office on one laptop
It is also advisable to install the older version before the newer version.
I currently have Office 4.3, 97, 2000, 2002 (XP) and 2003 on the same XP laptop that I use to teach some of the Office programs (mainly Word and PPT.) I have had PowerPoint 97, 2000, 2002 & 2003 open and running tiled on the desktop, freely switching between them to show how to create and edit slides, insert music and movies into the slides without any problems. While I haven't installed 07 yet so I don't know if this will hold true for that version but the previous versions will run an install sequence (so you have to have the setup files copied with the install) when switching from one version to another..

Kevin There's no need for him to have two versions - install 2007 and set the default "save" option to Office 97-2003..... |

It is also advisable to install the older version before the newer
version. It is not just advisable, it is a must to do it in that order!
