I believe that conventional wisdom is that this will lead to
problems/issues if running in the same instance of the operating system.
If you must have it, use something like Virtual PC
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/virtualpc/ or VMWare
http://www.vmware.com/ to segrate instances.
Curious: why do you need such a thing? What are you trying to achieve?
Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

you certainly can. The only problem is that Word does a "reinstall" (ie no
CD required, usually) every time you use a previous version. I cuurently
have 97, 2002 and 2003 installed.

That is untrue regarding Word - I have Word 2000, 2002 and 2003 installed
with no such issues.
You cannot have more than one version of Outlook installed.

While I might have done it wrong or ineptly, I was unable to make Access
97 and Access 2003 co-exist nicely ...
Office is so big ... guess the OP should just try ... but I still would
have reservations that all will be ok. By all means, try.
Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

If you are able to start Word 2000 and then switch to Word 2002 or
Word 2003 without the Windows Installer surfacing, which btw isn't
reinstalling - it's recreating various Registry entries and such in
order to make that version the current version, then please share!!

If you are using the apps for comparison then you shouldn't encounter
any problems. The main issues are for developers.
Although do note some of the shared utilities, such as ClipArt, will
use the most current version so some things could be a little
misleading.

I have Word 2, Word 6, Office 95 - Office 2003 installed. Although
then I tend to take the approach of 'try it and see what happens'. ;-)
(If anyone is wondering why, the lower versions are mainly for
comparison and of course because I was told it couldn't be done. <g>)
Aside from installing patches, you need to start an application for
the patch version in order to register it as the current version, I
haven't encountered any problems, well... the Office Assistant is
another story but I don't use the critter anyway, and I consider
myself a heavy user of all the applications for Office 97 - Office
2003.
Development is a little more tricky, but I know what to watch for and
accommodate those issues.

I wish I could - it just works - such is one of the mysteries of life! The
odd thing is, I've just experimented on my father's computer andI must
