Hi,

I'm in a teaching environment. I need to have access to
both Office 2002 and Office 2003. Is there any way I can
install these 2 different instances on one hard drive with
one partition?

Thanks!

You select Custom during the installation and have them put into separate
folders; i.e \Program Files\Office 2002 and \Program Files\Office 2003

Install the older one first so that any common .DLLs, etc are from the
'newer' version.

Be aware that file and program associations will be made with the later
installed version so when you open a file you may have to make a selection
between the two as to which one you wnat to open that file.

This works well, even with more than 2 versions of MSOffice apps. At work, I
have Office 2000, 2002 and 2003 happily co-existing. Follow Jerry's advice
for installing to separate folders, oldest version first.
