Hi Jim,
When running the MS Office 2003 setup program
choose 'custom' installation and it will ask
which prior version programs you want to keep.

I currently have 97 Office Pro on my Windows machine. I am purchasing 2003
Office Standard Edition. I would like to continue to use 97 Access. What
is the best way to install Office 2003 and keep Access from the previous
edition? Thanks, Jimt >>
