ok so i have windows xp home sp3 and like 8 months ago, i installed ms officce 2007 on my computer, and i already had 2003 on it. i thought it would be useful to have both on the same computer. nevertheless, whenever, i would start ms word 2003, it would give me that error saying that i needed to install some missing things. i searched online a found a file that patched that problem. it was all good for a while, but now everytime i turn on ms word 2007, i would get this error message instead. ms word 2007 still works but having to press "ok" a bunch of times before the program actually loads is really annoying. i followed the instructions listed in the pic, but it still do not work. can anyone help me?

Why not uninstall 03? Redundant software is redundant.

please do not reply, why "uninstall 2003". if i wanted to, i could have done it long ago. i love 2003. i use it all the time, and it has a really simple and efficient interface. i love it.
how can i fix this without uninstalling 2003? -
Reinstall 07 and install macro support. It's right in the error message.
Better idea is to uninstall one of two. If you love 03, then keep 03. Keeping both is just causing unnecessary problems. -
If it's the menu structure that is throwing you off, you have a few options available to you.
1. Use the tool from MS that shows you where the options in 2003 are found in 2007.

2. use ubitmenu to add the option in 2007 to use the same menu style as 2003 offers.
