I now have Office 2007 Ultimate installed on my new Windows 7 laptop.
Most of its components are OK but I am having troubles with Word 2007
and want to revert to Word 2002 from my Office XP suite. I therefore
want to install Word 2002 on this same W7 laptop but in a different
folder instead of whatever the default install folder is. So my question is

Do I need to uninstall Office 2007 before installing just Word from
Office XP or can I just uninstall the Word 2007 part and re-install it
later.

Should I anticipate conflicts or problems with 2 Words on the same laptop?

Thank you for any advice.

Jeff

Or can I just install Word 2002 (from Office XP) in its own folder
without uninstalling Word 2007?

In addition to the link Doug has provided, I would urge you to change the
Word User templates folder and the Word start-up folder to new folders and
copy the files from old locations to new, before attempting to install 2002.
When you have installed 2002 change its User templates and Start-up folders
to new (different from 2007) locations also.

Thank you both for your help. Before I proceed (with trepidation) help
me clarify some issues:

a) Unless I misunderstood it, the link Doug provided is to hack the
registry to "Use Word 2000/3 Toolbars in Word 2007". Later it says "if
you run Word 2007 and an earlier version such as Word 2003 together"
..... and proceeds to the registry hack. I am not clear if the registry
hack is to "Use Word 2000/3 Toolbars in Word 2007" or to run Word 2002
and 2007 concurrently, or for both.

Could you please clarify for me?
(Also it says it is for Windows XP and I am in W7 but I assume it is the
same hack).

b) I assume - perhaps mistakenly - from your instructions that it is not
necessary to first uninstall Word 2007. Is that correct?

Again thank you for all the help you provide. It is wonderful that you
do this for persons you do not even know.

Jeff
