install Publisher 2002 with Office 2003

[tdo]

I have MS Office 2002 SB OEM version with Word, Excel, Outlook and Publisher.
Now, on a new hard disk, I want to install Office 2003 SSL with Powerpoint
but without Publisher. What's the best way to keep the old Publisher which I
won't miss. Using the same home ? Installing 2003 over 2002 ? How works
registration of the both versions ? Will 2003 registration cover 2003 ?

Install as normal, without installing the new Publisher and you will be
fine. There are no tricks or issues.

Hi Brian,
Sorry, I didn't ask correctly. There isn't any new Publisher in Office 2003
SSL. I want further to use Publisher 2002. And my question is how to
install them together. I would prefer one home but will it work ?
regards
Thomas

Brian's answer was correct. You will install Publisher as usual. It will
install itself in a different directory than Office 2003. I have Pub 2000,
2002, and 2003 on my system with Office Pro 2000 and 2003. I think Brian has
about 5 different versions of Pub on his system and I've never heard him say
a single discouraging word about them not all playing together nicely.
