Office 2010 and Office 2007 same machin 7x64

[artinusa]

I installed office 2010 independent of 2007..Installed OK..but when I clcik on office docx or pptx files the system goes to reconfigure each time and gather info..then open the file..annoying..can I set the system default to say recognize 2010 as default..I need to keep 2007 until I am sure that 2010 is working Ok..add-ins etc.. Windows 7 64 bit..32 bit install

Yes you can. The only condition is that you only have one version of outlook installed on your computer at a time.

Any idea why I have to reconfigure each time I use an office extension to ope..like I clcik on say a 'ppt' file and I am asked to reconfigure.then it open them OK...same for all office products yet I can open the programs OK......any idea..can you guide me..?

This works with Word 2007, I don't know about 2010 (not installed trial yet) but may be worth a go.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\[B][COLOR=Red]12.0[/COLOR][/B]\Word\Options]
"NoReReg"=dword:00000001

The numbers 12.0 will need changing, I think it's 14.0 with Office 2010. Because of this it would be easier/safer/better to manually edit/add the registry entry.

Hi
I have both Office 2007 & 10 installed and both work OK on the same computer, and if you look at the bottom left hand corner of the pop up window that you get when you save a document in word using office 2010 there is a tick box to make office 10 compatible with all systems
