I am currently utilising Publisher (from office 2003) to publish and manage
my home page and want to re install my previous version of Frontpage 2000 for
more options. Is Frontpage 2000 backwards compatible with Office 2003 as when
I installed it and went to the upgrade centre it wanted to install upgrades
for office 2000. Can I accept these upgrades?

You can have multiple versions of Office and/or Office stand-alone products
on the PC with no issues. Any service packs identify applicable programs and
only update them accordingly. The only thing you need to do is that when
installing each version you must use the custom install option and tell the
install to NOT replace existing versions.

Must I not replace existing versions of all of Office 2000 (i.e MSWord,
Excel, etc) or just not replace existing version of FrontPage?
