MS Office 2003 & 2007

[AlohaHilo]

Can MS Office 2003 and 2007 coexist peacefully?

If they can, is there anything to be aware of (installation, usage after
installation, etc ..)

Thank you so much.

Except for Outlook, mostly the answer is yes.

When you switch between Program versions, you will get the "installing..."
issue when switching between program versions such as Word 2003->Word 2007.

«If you have two versions of Microsoft Word installed on the same computer,
you experience a delay when you start Word 2007. This behavior occurs
because Word 2007 auto-registers itself on the computer.

You can bypass the auto-registration. This enables Word 2007 to start
faster. However, we do not recommend this because Word may not function
correctly if it cannot auto-register itself...»

I have Outlook 2003 and Office 2007 (home and student edition) on my
computer. Now I am thinking of uninstalling Outlook 2003. If I do that, will
it affect the Office 2007 that is already installed? In other words, can I
safely uninstall Outlook 2003 without it affecting my Office 2007?

Thanks.
