680390	2008-06-20 00:55:00	I am still running MS Office 2000 Professional mainly for word, excel and access database development. If I upgrade to Office 2007 Profession can I (custom) install it along side my existing Office 2000 version. What conflicts am I likely to experience? Perhaps I either leave well alone or else do a single 2007 install? Thanks in advance Chris	nzchrise (1180)

For instance in 2007 I can open files created in earlier Word docs and templates but if I allow 2007 Word to save in its native format the person at the other end will probably not be able to read said file unless a file converter is installed. If you are saving a file in Word 2007 there are a number of "Save As" options. More info needed. :-)	Sweep (90)

Cool... that's all I really need to know.. a great logical question from the 2007 installer.. who would have thought ms to have had such insight.. I take it the 2003 and 2007 co-habit OK then. :thanks Chris	nzchrise (1180)
680394	2008-06-20 12:28:00	Absolutely, no problem at all. Actually, the question could be "Do you want to keep your current installation (of Office 2000)" but now you know what to do. Either way, you keep both versions and there are no problems whatsoever.	beeswax34 (63)
