the site list 2007 and 2003 on same machine but i doubt that it's that
different.

Yes, so do I... but I don't have Office 98 and Office 2007 since the
former is a Mac release and the latter a Windows one. 8^ However I'm
assuming that the first one was meant to be Office 97 rather than 98.

The biggest things a
- Install from oldest to newest.
- Before you install your next version, copy your icons from the start
menu folder to another folder on the start menu that you create for
that version. If you fail to do that later installations may overwrite
them with its own icons and you have to go hunting for the .exe files
to create new shortcuts, which is a pain.
- Every version must be installed in its own folder (Use Office9,
Office10, Office11 etc)
- Office 2007 (which I thoroughly detest) is the only one that doesn't
play all that nicely with the others all the time, but nothing that's
a dealbreaker. I use Office 2007 if I absolutely need to (other than
Outlook, since you can have only one version of Outlook on a
computer), and stick to good ol' 2003 for the rest of the time.
