Installing Publisher 2003 after Office 2007

[Dottie]

We would like to install a standalone copy of Publisher 2003 in addition to
our standard Office 2007 suite. We would like to make use of the wizard
application in Publisher.
Our IT people tell us that it will mess up the registries and cause problems.
Is there a way around this or is the Publisher wizard a thing of the past?

I have most all versions of Publisher installed. My suggestion is to create
a new folder, name it Publisher 2003, install Publisher into the folder.
Should work okay. All my 2003 wizards work fine.

I'm using XP with Office07.
So I could install Publisher versions as far back as (I think) '98 at least,
each in its own folder, without any trouble?

I don't need to create or do anything fancy, but occasionally want to open
an old file -- and even if it opens in a newer version it sometimes just
"isn't the same".

I *think* I had XP/Office03(?) along with older Pub versions; don't remember
how I did that.
