Software suite compatibility

I need to purchase more licensed of Office 2003, yet the vendors will only
sell me licenses for Office 2007. I was told that as long as I have the
media CD for 2003 I will be able to back track Office 2007 to Office 2003.
Is this true and if so, what steps will I have to take?


Baffled

We do in fact hold a Volume License Agreement. And your link answered my
question. However; if this is my first time downgrading how should I proceed
to ensure I am doing it correctly?

Thanks,
Mimi

P.S. I really appreaciate the quick response. Especially, since I am under
the gone timewise.
