Re: using software in both 32 bit and 64 bit.

atomkirk, welcome to the forums.

Unless someone has a better idea what I would do is to install Office again while in Vista 64, only during the install select Custom and point it to the folder where it is installed on the 32 bit Vista. That way it ends up with all the necessary registry entries in both Vista intsalls, and you only have Office taking up the space of one install.
