Multiple versions of FM have never been a problem. It's very
well-behaved in that regard. 

But WWP 7.0 doesn't even work with FM 7.x, much less FM 8. I believe you
need WebWorks ePublisher Pro 9.0 to work with FM 7.2 (at least, I've
used ePP 9.0 with FM 7.2, so I know it works). To use WWP 7.0, you'd
have to drop back to FM 6.
