I have mixed machines running both 2007 and 2003 both connecting to my 2003 server. You can swap them out at will and plan the migration by however is most comfortable to your crew. You should have no problems except the vast differences in 03 and 07 may cause some complaints from the floor.
do it through Group policy. the best way to do it is to roll it out to a selected few users first. When you are happy that your upgrade works properly then continue doing other ou's. making sure that everything works well before rolling it out to everyone else.

Hi
After creating the batch file with the below code.
@ECHO OFF
 reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1
 reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1

Do i need to just execute from desktop or do i need to put it on any specific locataion.
