Install Office 2007 without over writing Office 2003

[Sherri-lynn]

Has anyone installed office 2007 without upgrading Office 2003, so that both
version run on the same machine? I don't want use a virtual machine.

If it is possible are there any issues that you know of if I do this?

I am a trainer and train on both versions. - Thanks

You have to choose between Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 because you can
only have one or the other, but you can have both 2003 and 2007 versions
of the other Office applications. If you want to keep the 2003 versions
of Word, Excel, etc., alongside the 2007 versions, then choose a Custom
installation of 2007, and choose to keep the 2003 versions in the
Installation Options tab.

As a precaution, back up Word 2003's normal.dot template and any custom
templates you created, autocorrect list, and custom dictionary, and
Outlook's .pst file(s), before you install the 2007 version. See
