Office in Win2k

I m using office 2000 in Win2K, the problem is 2 peaple sharing the same computer with 2 user/password, 1 person is using Office Hebrew version and the other user can't use this version since the menu's r in Hebrew.
My question is there a possibility to install 2 version of office 2000 on one computer.

Thank's

 

I'm presuming you have only one hard drive with a single partition on it...


You could run the install program again and this time specify a different folder for the office app to be placed in. This way I know both installs could co-exixt on the same machine. You would want to remove all office apps from your startup menue and then you could open either app from a desktop shortcut pointing to whichever version you are wnating to use...This SHOULD WORK

You could use a third party utility like partition majic to create a virtual partition and install the office app on that

Or you could fdisk and format your HD creating two or more partitions. Re-install your OS, two office instals on different partitions and you will be good to go.

Now Redmond will probably want you to pay a second licenseing fee since you will have two people using the same software in different ways...you will have to check with them on that.

 

O.K. you could also add a second HD and place on office app on that, that would probably be the easiest (couple of screws, couple of plugs and a quick hit on the CMOS setting and you would have it.

I personally don't like disk partitioning utilities.

Thanks

Thank's pentiumpusher for your answer, the problem is not one partiation or more and on which part. it is installed (I have more then 1) some files from the instalation r going into the system and there is created a problem that don't let none of the versions installed to behave normaly.

Thank's

 

OK, then uninstall all office versions.

Load the version you want to use the most, first. This will put it where it wants to go by default which will be on the same drive/partition as the Operating system. All the standard shortcuts should point to this version.

Load the secondary version on a different drive/partition by specifying where you want to put it during install. make sure this version IS NOT IN YOUR START MENUE. You will then have to open and close this version manually, but it should work.
(you might need to create a special folder to put documents created on this version in, on that same drive/partition-not sure)

There are probably lots of other ways that will work, including the right one! But this SHOULD work.
