Office 07 vs 03 & macros

[realityhack]

Hi - using MS Office 07 as it affords me greater functionality in Excel. However - I have to use 03 docs with (many) bookmarks/macros, and the bookmarks break in 07, even in 'compatibility mode'. So it seems 07's VB isn't fully backwards compatible with 03. Fantastic. Thanks Mr Gates.

Not being a Microsoft expert, is it a straightforward job to run both versions of Office concurrently (In Win XP Pro SP 2) or do they share common DLLs and the like? Any issues to consider?

From memory, a co-install requires letters A-Z and numbers 0-9 written in a circle. Ooh, and that shot glass OH nicked. It does work, mind.
