Really? I found one too...If you install it in another directory without overwriting your old Office XP, Microsoft Word 2003 will ask you to reinstall a component.

If you open Word 2003 after you've restarted your computer, it'll ask you to reinstall or repair something. But if you open it again, it won't.

If you open Word XP after you've opened Word 2003, it'll ask you to reinstall or repair something. But if you open Word XP again, it won't appear.

Kinda strange...
