Visio 2003 Viewer & Visio 2002

[Julia]

A co-worker has Viso 2002 on her computer but is receiving
files created in Visio 2003. If she installs the Visio
2003 viewer on her computer, will there be any ill effects
on her Visio 2002?

Thanks in advance

Generally there should be no problem doing this. The one thing that might
happen is that the Viewer will claim (or offer to claim) the Visio file
extensions. This means double-clicking on a file launches the Viewer
instead of Visio 2002. You can still launch Visio 2002 and then open any
2002 format files from within the program.
