2 Versions of Office

[Andy K]

I have Office 2010 but I don't care for the ribbon bar in Winword.

I put Office 2000 on another drive.

I want to use both versions.

Now when I open a document using Winword ver. 10, I get this long Configuration in Progress dialog.

When I specifically pick the older version of Winword to open a document, the Winword ver.10 opens it.

Can someone help me with those problems ?

Thanks.

Not sure about Office 2000 but I suggest read this article by Microsoft:

I am running Office 2003, Office 2007 and Office 2010 on my Windows 7
machine and they run fine for me.

Good luck.
