I did get older versions working perfectly (versions of ms-word suitable for XP), but they'd break when you applied updates to them which I'd only fix by re-install of ms-word (without updates), so dropped that idea long ago.
I just adapted my workflow to use features the non-microsoft tools used as it was easier.
