It has been a little while since I experimented with this, but what I seemed to find was that if I had Office 2003 and all the language packs installed, and then installed Office 2007, and then uninstalled Office 2003 (leaving the language packs intact), then the old language packs would work well with the new Office. If anyone has a more elegant way of doing this, I'd love to know. I spent some considerable time wrestling with this and trying to contact Microsoft and others to make sure this would be legal. The consensus was that it would be - it seems MS doesn't really care too much about getting paid for their language packs so long as you have paid for Office.
