Yes, it's called Virtual PC 2007. Free from Microsoft. Install the most common version of Office on your machine, then create 'virtual' machines to run other versions. Personally, I have Office 97 and 2003 installed on all of my machines and if I want a different version, I install it inside a VPC virtual machine.

My previous machine had A97 through A2003 installed with A2007 runtime for testing. Everything worked fine... well each time either A2003 or A2007 started the first time the Windows installer would go through its thing. On the new machine, in the beginning the IT folks couldn't get the different version to play nice together. After many uninstalls and reinstalls etc. I finally have A97, A2000, A2003 and the A2007 runtime. My issue is that EVERY TIME A2003 starts the Windows Installer begins and if I hit cancel it cancels everything. It starts even if I have another instance of it open and it doesn't matter how many times I have opened it up in the past it still starts. The IT folks say the next step in to uninstall everything on the machine and reinstall all the software. Does anyone know how to stop this from happening?
