I need to have both word 2003 and word 2010 installed on the same machine. How can I make word 2003 default on .doc? Registry key?

Tnx

Uninstall one version of Office? Why do you need 2 versions on the same machine anyway? – Ben Pilbrow Feb 13 '11 at 17:08

You don't set a registry key, you set the default program. Right click any .doc file and you will see a box like below chick change and select Microsoft Word in the Dialog box.

If another version of Word is running, the document opens in the running version rather than in the associated version. – Luke99 Feb 13 '11 at 16:57
I don't think there is a way around that. – Jacob Feb 13 '11 at 17:01
There is a way, I just don't know how it's done. – TSs Feb 13 '11 at 21:38
