I have on this computer word 2003. How can I work in word 2002?

[jfchclegg]

I am doing some work for an exam in Word 2002 and I can transfer it to Word
2003 on this computer but there are subtle differences and I would like to
know how to get Word 2002 on this computer.

Word 2002 and 2003 share the same file format. If it is layout you are
concerned about, installing Word 2002 on your PC will not make much
difference - see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm

The most economical way to get Word 2002 is as part of Works Suite; see
http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=001. As the
others have said, there is no difference between 2002 and 2003 in file
format and little difference in features, but there is enough that I can
understand your wanting to have at home the version you're trying to pass an
exam on.

Just be careful when you install Word 2002 that you don't overwrite Word
2003 (unless you want to); you can choose to install the versions side by
side, though each time you start one after using the other you'll have a bit
of delay (there is a Registry setting you can change to eliminate this).
