Hi Jan, You can install both Office 2003 and Office 2007 on the same computer; the exception is you can only have one version of Outlook. You just need to set Office up to separate locations when it is installed. MS Office puts a lot of stuff in the Registry and it must be there in order to run. I could be mistaken, but I seriously doubt any version of Office will run from the memory stick.

Most of my seniors are using Office 2003, but some are buying new computers & of course they are installing Office 2007. I am in the process of buying a new computer but I want to be able to use Office 2003 for those who are using that & the new Office 2007 for the new users. The technician said I could put Office 2003 on a memory stick & use it from the stick. I wasn't comfortable with his quick one word answers so I am coming to those who would know. Can I install & use Office in a 4 gig memory stick?
