Hi. I'm running WinXP Pro on my home PC, and, seeing as I'm teaching Office 2007 at a local college in the fall, I figured I'd better see what it was all about. So I've installed the 60-day trial version that's available for download from Microsoft (upgrading from Office 2003).
This trial version installs everything except for Outlook 2007 by default, since two versions of Outlook cannot co-exist. (See KB at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930559 for more details.) The KB article suggests that I uninstall Outlook 2003 first using Add/Remove Programs before installing the trial version of Outlook 2007. I have no technical problems doing this -- it just makes me nervous that I'm uninstalling something rather than upgrading it. Won't uninstalling erase all my emails, contact information, etc., so that they're not available to import into the trial version of Outlook 2007? Or will that information be stored somewhere on my computer until I install 2007?
Thanks!
