Remove Access 2010 keeping 2010 Word Excel

Experts,
Acces 2010 looks to have some problems. Can I unistall Access 2010, install Access 2007 yet keep 2010 Word, PowerPoint and Excel?

Yes it is possible. I have done it on several machines.

Well, sure ... but ... there a *more* known bugs in A2007, so not sure you would accomplish anything ...

I don't want to go back to 2003 - I'm not use to these macros in 2010 and would prefer to write rather than macro. maybe it's not a good idea to go backwards?

If it were me, this is a reason why I would keep Access 2007 installed.

So again, I see no need to uninstall Access 2010 specifically...

What the reason why you can't just keep both full versions installed?
