Here are additional references to 64 bit Office 2010 and 32 bit office -
Note: pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases
but again - note these previous remarks:
"We do not support (and there are no plans to support) 32-bit and 64-bit
Office side-by-side."
Ted Way [MSFT], Program Manager, Microsoft Office PLEX Enterprise
Licensing, Group Policy, and 64-bit Office

"Deployment considerations
Before you deploy 64-bit editions of Office 2010, you must evaluate the
advantages and disadvantages and determine whether it is an appropriate
deployment option for your specific environment. The following sections
highlight benefits and issues that might affect compatibility, describe
Outlook considerations, and list the applications that block and those that
do not block a 64-bit Office 2010 installation.
A key consideration is that you cannot install native 64-bit Office 2010 on
computers that have 32-bit Office applications and third-party add-ins
installed. You must uninstall the 32-bit Office applications and add-ins
before you can install 64-bit Office 2010. If you have 32-bit third-party
Office applications and add-ins that are required for users, you can
install the default option, which is 32-bit Office 2010 (WOW64
installation) on computers that run supported 64-bit editions of Windows. A
list of applications that block and those that do not block a 64-bit Office
2010 is included. See Blocking and nonblocking Office applications in
64-bit installations."

"If 32-bit Office applications are installed on a computer, a 64-bit Office
2010 installation is blocked by default."
