Running Office 2003 and 2007 on a computer
Lynn 5/17/2007 8:56:01 PM
I have installed office 2007 on my computer that already had office 2003
installed (I followed all the custom install instructions and both are
working fine), I would like to know if it is possible to designate 2003 as
the default software to open word, excel, etc. files instead of 2007?

Yes, set up your file associations for each of the file types with the 2003
software.

The way I was taught to do that does not seem to be working. Would you
kindly give me instructions?

This worked fine for word. But what about Excel 2003?
