As I understand it, given two applications with identical creators, the 
last-moved one will be launched by the Finder.  This doesn't seem to 
apply in your case, though, since you moved Word 3.02 and had the problem,
then moved it again and no longer had the problem.  Hmmm.

I can suggest some ways to keep it from happening again, however:

1. Use Stuffit to archive Word 3.02, if you don't think you'll be using it
   frequently.

2. Change the filetype of the Word 3.02 application to something other than
   "APPL".

3. Give the Word 3.02 application a new name, one that follows the name of
   your Word 4.0 application aphabetically.  Word 4.0 and ZippyWord 3.02,
   for example.  Then rebuild the desktop.

4. This is just a guess, but perhaps you could perform major surgery on 
   Word 3.02 with ResEdit, changing the creator code and all relevant 
   resources [BNDL, FREF, etc.] to something other than "WDBN", so that
   The Finder won't even be tempted to launch Word 3.02.

5. I would just archive Word 3.02 to a floppy.
