Is it a matter of simply creating a new folder for the 2003, and will all files copy onto that folder I designate? I am afraid that it will overlay the newer version of files outside that folder (such as in the registry, program files, etc. etc.) that might render the 2007 version unusable or corrupt. At work I have dual versions of MS Access (2003 and 97) and they each reside in separate folders. Of course our IT people put those in and they know what they're doing (presumably). I have not had a problem going back and forth between two versions. Is this scenario possible in my situation? Or, if I don't know what I'm doing, should I just invest in trying to learn Excel 2007 (I HATE it especially when I'm in a hurry!)

You have to install Office 2003 first, then 2007. Otherwise the registry supposedly gets screwed up. Just install in separate folders like you said and it'll be ok. You'll probably want to completely uninstall 2007 first if you have it.

Thank you. I do have the 2007 CD that came with the laptop. I just hate messing things up...I hate dealing with tech support of any company. I may have to rethink this whole thing, sorta like the adage "If it ain't broke, why fix it?!" but of course, I can come up with something like "If it ain't broke but you can't use it, what's the point of it?" as a comeback.

In order to facilitate learning the new version, i put this reference guide on computers with Office 2007 installed:
