I have Office 2003 and like it, but find use for 2007.

If I put in its own patrician, can I place a short cut on the desk top and access it without causes any access problems for 2003?

Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Opera. I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Many thanks

Khan321,

Do you have a set of Office 2007 disks (or Office 2010) - you will need to have purchased these to install the newer version of Office.

Thanks

David

Hi David.

This is my setup. I'm also in the teaching environment. I have 4 computer labs. I have 48 stand alone computers, in my lab, running XP Pro and Office 2003. At the beginning of 2011 we started using Office 2007 with the grade 10 learners using a different lab. Now that I have them for grade 11 next year I have to install Office 2007 onto my machines but should also have 2003 for the grade 12's

I did the NoReReg registry entry and it works fine since we are not using Outlook. We are not on a domain… just a normal ethernet network.

On each computer I have six profiles. The Administrator, an exam profile which is linked to the server, 2 x gr.11 profiles and 2 x gr.12 profiles. I have two groups of each.

My issue is that I would like the different profiles to automatically use the different office versions. For instance: When a grade 11 learner opens a document, the profile must know to use Office 2007 applications. When a grade 12 learner opens a document, the profile must know to use Office 2003.

I tried to use the ‘Open with’ option, but it cascades through to the other profiles and then the grade 11 profile opens documents using Office 2003.

Is there a way to get pass this problem? Does this even make sense?

Thanks

Martin

I know all you guys are on Vista and Windows 7, but I'm stuck back here on Windows XP SP3 and I added ran both those lines, and they still do the install stuff each time I switch between Office 2003 Professional and Office 2007 Enterprise using Word on each.

Lori,

Outlook 2003 has an option to not use Word as the editor and I suspect this will be required here.

email.about.com/.../How_to_Use_Word_as_Your_Default_Email_Editor_in_Outlook.htm has the simple instructions on how to turn this off which should remove the error.

Thanks

David

Hi David,

I'm attempting to have 2003 and 2010 coexist and having a difficult time of it on my w2k3 TS.

I have installed the following:

Office 03:

Outlook

Word

Excel

Access

PowerPoint

Office 2010:

Word

Excel

Access

PowerPoint

Publisher

Any suggestions? Launching Outlook as a reg user I keep getting MS WORD 14.0 "An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly. Please run Setup and Select "Repair..." To restore this application."

Thanks for your reply David

I have bought a copy of Office Pro 2010 and installed it in the same User as Office 2000. By default I would like files with the suffix .xls to open with Office 2000 but Office 2010 has changed them to open with Office 2010.

I have gone into <explorer><tools><folder options><file types> Selected .xls <advanced> selected Open <edit> and then browsed to C:\P~File\|M~O~\Office\excel.exe being the exe file for Office 2000.

It works but when I try to open a file called jack straw.xls (note space) in the folder C:\My Documents Excel 2000 opens and then tells me it cannot find the file C:\My.xls <ok> then it cannot find the file Documents.xls <ok> then it cannot find the file jack.xls

<> then straw.xls and then finally it opens the file

I'm running XP Pro sp3

Its not mission critical but it is a tad annoying. Is there something I can do to correct this?

Thanks

Jack

Jack,

installing under a different user will not change the common files that are shared, so is unlikely to resolve the issue.

Thanks

Hi David

Appreciate the time you give to answering questions

I have a Office 2000 installed. I want to keep this and use it as my main MS product especially as it links up with my work computer and some macros there . However I need to install Office Pro 2010 for occasional use of a macro within excel.

Rather than installing it on the same system would it be easier (and less likely to produce conflicts) if I install it on the same pc but under a different user? (I'm running on XP Pro r.3)

Many thanks

Jack

Hi Iau,

I'm not sure what Trados is (I found a few hits on the web), but you need to check with them if it is compatible with Office 2007. Office and Windows are two seperate products, so you could have Office 2007 with Windows 7, Vista or XP and so on.

Thanks

David

Hi - i don't know if you are still running this blog - but I have a question. I am running 03 and 07 on same computer. When I am using Excel it no longer allows me to link between 2 seperate workbooks. Is there an option I need to click on 03 to make this do'able? In the preferences or something?

I use Office 4.3, Office 97 and Office 2003 all installed on the same computer without any problem at all. The reason I have these 3 versions is that I have MS Access databases in all versions and I absolutely refuse to convert them. And furthermore, I do not install them in any particular order whatsoever - but what I do is install each version of Office in its own folder - e.g. C:\MS Office 4.3, C:\Program Files\MS Office 97, and C:\Program Files\ MS Office 2003. I intend to stick with this set-up when I next install Office 2010. One thing to bear in mind, though, is that you HAVE to decide which version of Outlook to use and then keep that version and do not install any other version. Also, if you have issues with Access 97, it means that you have to upgrade your Microsoft Jet engine.

For Windows 7 64-bit and Office 2010 in combination with Office 2003, the following easy procedure will work:

1. run cmd.exe as an administrator

2. reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1

3. reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1

4. reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Powerpoint\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1

Note: Access 2003 / Access 2010 can not be fixed this way. There is no known solution for Access.
