Parallel installation of Office 97 and Office 2000 on a W2k

M

Matt Anderson

I have heard that it is possible to have two versions of
Office installed at the same time on the same Windows PC
(Windows 2000 Pro SP3).

Let's say Office 97 and Office 2000.
But is not some files shared? Will not Office 97 programs
load and use the shared files from Office 2000? I believe
so, at least when Office 2000 is installed after Office 97
as it make sense that new files update existing older ones
(maybe the installation of Office 97 just leave newer
exiting files?)

Question is if functionality and reliability is affected?
Will Excel 97 behave as Excel 97 or as some kind of mix of
Excel 97 and Excel 2000?

Hi!
Thanks for your reply and tip!

I did a number of searches on support.microsoft.com but
missed that one! Very informative.

May I ask if your own experience is that there indeed are
no problems in real life than? Would you say that the
article cover everything essential?

The reason for the parallel installation is that we need
to give user support (mainly less complicated telephone
support) to users with different Excel versions.
The idea is that the operator should have the exact same
menus and dialogues as the caller.


Thanks again.

I have old Office on my old computer and new Office on my new computer.
I decided against installing both versions on my new computer because:
1) have to rename shortcuts, 2) file association issues, and 3) if I had
easy access to old Office, I'd probably keep using it and never use new
Office.
