BEFORE you do that....
Install each to its own folder - do NOT share the install folder between
2000 and 2010
In 2003 they changed things ' behind the scenes ' for Office
2000 vs. 2003 ( 2010)
Read details at msft for why not. example here:

Hi Dave,
You can install the whole office 2010 suite in your computer, and have your
office 2000 on your computer as well. They won't bother each other as their
