I don't know why not. The problem is you can only have one DEFAULT version of
Excel. Make yourself shortcuts to your excel.exe files and mark their
versions. You should be able to run either. I have done so with Excel 97,
2000, 2002, and 2003 concurrently. I'd be surprised if 2007 doesn't also
perform the same way.

Hi Mo

Yes you can have all versions of XL installed on your machine at the
same time.

To use a specific version, first load XL2000 then open the file
required.
Double clicking on a file name will probably use XL2007 as a default,
since that was the latest to be installed
In XL2007, there is an option to save in XL97-2003 compatibility mode.
Always use this if you want to be able to open that file with XL2000.
