Multiple bottles and versions of MS Office

Anyone have experience or knowledge about the ability to install separate bottles for different versions of MS Office? If so please describe, thanks.

You can definitely install multiple versions of MS Office in Crossover. As far as Crossover is concerned there's nothing odd about it. By default each should install into its own separate bottle (which is automatically created), but during the installation process you'll want to check the bottle field in Crossover's Install Software menu to be sure that your installation is going into a new bottle each time. Just insert your install disc/mount your ISO/know where your installer file is, go to Crossover's Install Software menu, select the appropriate version of MS Office, select your install media, double-check that you're going into a new bottle, click "install".

If you're using KDE you'll run into problems with having menus for all your Office installs. You can work around this by changing the menu root for one or more MS Office bottles (depending on how many you have installed) in Manage Bottles>Control Panel>Menus.

Thanks much Jack, appreciate your help.
