Run Office 2007 and 2003 on same machine?

[Guest]

I am running office 2003 and am considering downloading the beta 2 of 2007.
Can I have both versions on my machine at the same time. If 2007 doesn't work
out for me, will I have to reload 2003?

I would not advise doing this. 2007 is in beta for a reason. You can't have
Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2003. Setting up different users may help, but I
wouldn't count on it. I have a machine with dual-boot in Windows XP-64 and
Windows XP. Separate boot drives, separate users. I still got some
interference with Outlook 2003 running under Windows XP-64 when I installed
Office 2007 under Windows XP.

?n the machine I am wanting to use I don't use Outlook. Can I download Office
2007 without Outlook. I am mainly interested in Powerpoint, Excel and Word
and web page creation.

Thanks

Yes, you can download everything but Outlook, but be advised that it could
make changes to your 2003 version of Word. When I downloaded it and ran it,
I lost all of my customizations and customized toolbars.
