atw: Re: Can you have Office 2007 installed at the same time as Office 2003 (and different instances running concurrently)?

I have Office 2008 on my Mac at home, and it's quite interesting - it has all 
the cool graphicky stuff, but with the old menu system (which doesn't 
necessarily make things easier to find, because it's the old Mac menu system 
which is different to the Windows one anyway...)

The only reason i'm still on 2003 at work is finding the time to learn 2007, as 
I (and my colleagues) have certain expectations about my efficiency, and I hate 
that crippled feeling of having to spend ages finding how to do something... 
(having said that, I've got as far as page 7 in your Word book, Christine, and 
am already using that info to assist my colleagues...).

If someone else knows how to speed things up, etc, I would appreciate that 
info. Also, our install files are on a share server, and it doesn't seem to 
give us the option to install separately - does anybody know the command line 
switches so I can force it to give me a choice?


Thanks
Elizabeth

You can install them side-by-side.  Just beware in that the 2007 Outlook 
overwrites the 2003 unless you install correctly and so have the option to tell 
it not to.  However, I have had no problems at all with 2007 Outlook.

Its slow to change between the two, and Microsoft has to install stuff each 
time. I think someone posted some instructions on how to stop the re-install 
process and so speed the thing up, but I can't remember who/where/what.

I will be interested to see how fast you ditch 2003 PowerPoint once you have 
started using 2007.  You are right - 2003 doesn't match up.

Hi all

I think in a recent (long-winded and somewhat ranty) thread someone mentioned 
being able to have Word 2003 installed at the same time as Word 2007 - is this 
correct or was I just dreaming (or brain reeling from slogging through the 
long-winded and ranty thread)?

I'm modifying a previously 2007 Powerpoint slide pack for someone, and my 2003 
graphics just don't match up. I'd like to have both versions on my machine at 
once, so I can learn the new stuff at my leisure. (I did actually snaffle a 
second machine for this stuff, but it's at home for my spare time - it would be 
much handier to have it all together in the one place.  Assuming you could run 
the different versions concurrently and they didn't make little streamers of 
smoke come out the back of my machine. Or out of my ears.)

Thanks
