in a nutshell - you're heading for problems
Having one executable accessed by two operating systems is at some point going to go badly wrong. Probably after an update breaks a dependency.
If you want to dual boot, use two separate physical drives, with separate installations that don't overlap. Anything else is a sure way to serious problems in the future

Thanks chaps.
Milo, yes, I feared I might be. I'll removed WP from Vista and reinstall in C drive.

OMGoodness me! This doesn't matter but . . .
I got rid of everything in C drive that might even smell of WPerfect. I installed said program on C. It had never been on C drive . . . ever.
During the install it told me it was removing all things to do with it being in D. Fine, but I'd never seen that before.
When I ran it in C (under Vista boot.) it seemed fine. For some reason I typed in one of my book's quick-corrects. It worked! As did the other rapid-fire insertions of names etc.
It has NEVER done this before. In fact, when I install WP8 - twenty or more times I'd guess - the one thing that takes time is my quick-corrects. In 15 years, I have never discovered a way to carry them from another installation. Now they're running in a supposedly fresh install. But the copy on D drive under W7, does not do it! I am totally bewildered by this.
Are there any old-timers out there that know which WP file holds the quick-corrects? Bit late I know, but better late than etc.
