Microsoft Office

[pgcoop]

How can I run two versions of Office on the same computer? I loaded Office
07 on my computer and that replaced 2000. My wife has some Excel files that
she uses at home and at work, but they are version 2000. I reloaded Office
2000 in a different folder and Excel works, Powerpoint works, Outlook works,
but Word doesn't run. It hangs and I have to Ctr-Atl-Del to get the computer
working. Anybody got an idea how I can get Word to work?

You can install multiple versions but you should follow these instructions:

1. now that your installations are messed up, uninstall BOTH

2. Install Office 2000 first

3. Install Office 2007, but select Custom installation so that you can
choose to NOT upgrade the Office 2000 programs. I can't remember if you get
that option before or after you choose a custom installation so it may happen
right away. Be prepared for it and read carefully when it asks if you want
to upgrade or keep the existing programs.

thanks for the help. I did what you said and things worked fine except for
MS Word which causes conflects with the MS Word 2007 and both can't be on the
computer at the sametime according to the error message when it hangs. Excel
2000 works fine. Thanks again
