You could try the Office 2007 compatibility pack if you just need to open
2007 files.

That way you wouldn't need the trial version of 2007 installed.

I have Office 2000 loaded onto my PC, i also have a trial version of 2007. i
need to keep 2007 for the odd occassion that an excel 2007 spreadsheet is
sent to me but as it is only a trial version many features cannot be used.
When i get sent excel spreadsheets in emails 99% are in 98 or 2000 format. i
want to open them immediately in excel 2000 but 2007 defaults in and i ant to
change this so that it defaults to 2000 opening 2007 only when i get a
spreadsheet produced in 2007 version - can anyone tell me how to default to
2000 instead of 2007 when opening an excel email attachment
