ffice 2003 & 2007

I know you can install Office 2003 & 2007 side by side, but when doing so
office 2007 becomes the default applications. Is there an easy way to make
2003 the default application besides going into tools -> file options and
going to each file extension and choosing the program to open it with.

I would like to have 2003 be my default app and use 2007 when I want to. Any
help will be appriciated. Thank you

An easier way would be to right click on the file. (Like a .doc for example)
and choose open with. Browse to winword.exe that is in c:\program
files\microsoft office\office 11\winword.exe. Put a check in always you this
program and hit ok.

That willl reassociate .doc files with word 2003. Do the same with the other
office apps.

excel file it opens in 2007
