Microsoft office "Ultimate" 2007 in Vista 64

[Guest Kue2]

I have Office 2003 running in Vista 64.If I load Microsoft Office Ultimate

do I need to uninstall Office 2003?

Will they co-exist together with no problems?

Anyone tried this in Vista 64 Ultimate?

When the Office 2007 Ultimate splash screen appears you will be offered an

option to ugrade or do a custom installation of Office 2007. Choose Custom

and you will be offered the option to keep all previous versions.

btw, you will not be able to install selected Office 2007 apps. When you

choose to keep all previous versions, all the 2007 apps get installed

regardless of which Office 2003 apps are installed on the computer. You

will not be offered the option to deselect Groove, for example. Not a

biggie, but something to keep in mind if you are a little tight on hard

drive space.

Pretty much all can co-exist except Outlook. Outlook 2k7 will replace the

Outlook 2k3 version. And Colin has covered the rest of it.

Colin and Charlie have covered most of the points of using Office 2003 and

2007 together. Just a few notes:

 

Choose a custom install and choose to select the applications to keep. That

way you can customize which versions of which applications you have

available. To emphasize, just have one Outlook version.

 

When all is installed you will notice a delay in opening a different version

from the one you last used. That is caused by a checking/install routine

which makes adjustments for correct operation of the version you are

opening.

 

If you are in the habit of clicking on the file name to open it in the

appropriate application, be aware that the version that starts will be the

one you last opened. I believe there is a registry edit you can make that

fixes this problem. However, I don't bother with it since I am in the habit

of opening the application and using the file open dialogue.

 

Goo luck.
