    What Office language?
    What Windows version, edition and language?
    For what purpose, you want to run side by side two Office versions?

    Alright, I've just installed 0365 first and then Office 2013 and it worked. Both versions can coexist on the same PC.

    Also you take note of this:
    Office 2016+ and 365 use the exactly same files for working, the only change is the license
    Office 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013 can coexist, but O2016, 2019, 2021 or 2024 and 265 not because the files are the same with different license
    Examples:
    Office 2013 + 365: ok
    Office 2013 + 2024: ok
    Office 2007 + 2024: ok
    Office 2007 + 365: ok
    Office 2016 + 2024: not possible
    Office 2021 + 2024: not possible

    Hope this helps.

    If you want a download link for Office 2013 English, I can provide one to you.
    Office 2013 has a nice set of features, in my opinion.

    Note that you have to install Office 2024 first, then the older version Office 2013.

    Office 2013 Pro Plus EN x64
    https://drive.massgrave.dev/SW_DVD5_Office_Professional_Plus_2013w_SP1_64Bit_English_MLF_X19-35976.iso

    https://massgrave.dev/ is the best place where you can get Windows and Office isos, don't look elsewhere and forget heidoc.net (I've just clicked on a download link and it does nothing, crap).

    Now, with this tiny program, cross check the image file you downloaded for genuineness:
    https://genuine-iso-verifier.weebly.com/

    If you face issues, it's better to remove files by scrubbing all Office's traces in the system. How? With this tool:
    https://github.com/abbodi1406/WHD/blob/master/scripts/OfficeScrubber_13.zip

    Need activation? google 'massgravel' and open its github repository and get v3.0

    Needless to say, for these operations, you must disable your internet connection and your antivirus and/or any security program.

    Generally speaking, it's not recommended to have two versions of office on the same computer.

    Please read my previous message, I edited a line in red color font.

    OfficeScrubber is just a set of scripts provided by M$ and beautifully implemented by abbodi's batch script.
    Nope, do not uninstall anything manually. As per readme file: An automated script to uninstall, remove and scrub Microsoft Office (MSI or Click-to-Run).
    Please read the readme file.

    Can you install it on another partition or an external drive? It might create folders in AppData or ProgramData on the C drive but I would think you could still install the other version on a different drive.

    I tried Office 2013 and 2010 like yours and nothing. M$ servers are not giving support anymore for 2010.

    Try using 365 templates on Word 2010.

    This info might help you how to do it: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/word-365-templates/92ce9897-27fd-4319-ae51-74a036928628
