I recently installed as an upgrade Office 2007 on a machine that already had
2003. I needed to retain the 2003 I am noticing that certain features did
not upgrade to the 2007 format, e.g., the Out of Office Assistant in 2007 in
still the old Out of Office, Scheduling Assistant is still the old
Scheduling. In Excel I am missing a couple of icons. I want to be able to use
the new features especially in the Out of Office Assistant.

Is there any way to redirect the location where Office 2007 looks? I have
done this before with other versions and had no problem. The versions are
loaded on different partitions on my hard drive.

It looks like you have not installed Outlook 2007. The reason I
am saying this is because at any one time, you can have only one
version of Outlook in a system. This is the only exception when
you have multi-version of Office.

Now when you have checked this and when you have installed Outlook
2007, I suggest read this article to learn "How to use the Out of
Office Assistant in Outlook".

Since Office 2003 the Office installation is undertaken to a version
specific folder, so there was no need to install to a separate partition, it
achieved nothing.
And since you didn't upgrade the old version, nothing will have been
'upgraded'
