I have both office 2000 and 2003 installed in my computer. by default, windows system uses office 2003 for opening all office file(xls, word...). However, All applications were developed with office 2000 and in addition, office 2003 is not available in many computers in my company. Is there a way that I can set office 2000 as my default opening version. So I don't have to open office 2000 software first every time I need open a office file.

Thanks
 
You can change the default application.
Open Windows Explorer, then find out a Excel file.
Right click this file then choose Open with
Choose Excel 2000 Application, use the Find button. Usualy Excel 2000 application is in:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office9\excel.exe

After choosing the application, mark the option "always use ...", then click OK.

Do the same for Word, PowerPoint etc.
