Office 2002 & Office 2003 Install
Hi all,
I am a trainer who travel the country to train office products. I have 5 machines that I take with me, however our company has a half and half split of office versions and I would like to build the machine to accommodate for both. Is it possible to have both versions on the same machine without conflict? if not, do you have any other suggestions? Thanks in advance, Leena |

Office 2002 & Office 2003 Install
Hi Leena,
You can have both installations on your machine, as long as you set different install locations, however there can only be one outlook, the later version that you install. On my laptop im using Office 2003 while for Office XP, 2000 and 97,I have built Virtual PC's images using Microsoft's Virtual PC software ( note that this will require additional Windows licenses...) If your organization has a EA/Select agreement with Microsoft, you should have that software with licenses as well - talk to your Admin or IT/System dept about this. Take care, Arie H.
