It shouldn't affect your other Office 2003 programs, but then again... .
Reference: Description of 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 2 (SP2)
and of Microsoft Office Language Pack 2007 SP2:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=953195
Some users have found SP2 breaks Publisher, and makes it impossible to open
existing Pub files...you know, break one thing to fix another, so there is a
hotfix for that:

You can manually fix the problem with the navbar not rendering in IE8. You
don't have to "upgrade" to Pub 2007. Go to the web design group and read the
posts about the navbar issue. We have addressed this question several times
in the last week or so:
