We have a TS box that has 5 accounts. Three of us use Office 2007 but
the other 2 people I need to add will need Office 2003 (just Word/
Excel).

Is it possible to install just W2003 and E2003 on a TS box then lock
those users into 03 as default? If so, how? I was going to install
what I needed then logon as as them and put shortcuts to their version
of excel/word on their desktop.

Microsoft does not support the use of multiple versions of Microsoft
Office on a Terminal Server.

Re: Multiple versions of Office on TS

You may be able to do this using SoftGrid (AKA App-V).

This may be overkill for your scenario, though.
