How to handle multiple version of office simultaneously?

2000 P asked:

Hi,
Is there any good reference available for this kind of scenario?
If multiple version of Word or PPT opened, code should able to handle the automation between the documents irrespective of their version.
I tried interop assemblies which work with one version at a time. But in case there is 2003, 2007, 2010 word documents are opened program should able to create the object for different version. But, in ROT at a time only one version of MS Word will register, that’s what I read.
I have asked many questions regarding this in many forums, but no replies make me o go ahead. At least somebody could tell me why multiple version of automation not possible?
Please note: When I am saying multiple version I am not saying about compatibility of application with different version of MS office in different time.
