Partitions for two versions of Word

[meliss]

I was instructed to create separate "OS partitions" to
avoid the "now installing" routine when I use different
versions of Word on one computer. Does this mean the OS
has to be on both partitions? Or can I just create a
normal partition to contain one version of Word. BTW --
I'm talking about 97 and 2003

Thank you for previous help!! and thanks for this!

The usual instruction is to install earliest version first, run update on
this, ammend any shortcuts to eg Word97 Then install later version, ensure
this is to a seperate folder.
You have to take care when opening a file from Explorer to ensure it opens
in req. version.
I'v never come across advice to install to seperate partitions
..

If you wish to avoid the "now installing" prompt each time you switch
versions of Word, installing on a second OS partition or in a Virtual PC
session makes sense. Personally, I would use a VPC session.
