It's basic installation options - Control panel, add/remove software... find
office (or outlook if you only have outlook) and run the installer wizard,
choosing the uninstall or remove option. Use the custom option to remove
just outlook.

FWIW, if you can return outlook and exchange it for a suite, I'd highly
recommend it. You'll have a better experience. See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/standalone.htm for missing features.

I don't know how to do that. Anyway, would that not delete all of my
existing
emails and addresses? I did say to assume I knew nothing! If it is
relevant,
my Outlook 2002 is part of Microsoft Office XP Small Business but now
being
run on Vista. I have just bought the Outlook 2007 upgrade without
upgrading
the whole Office programme.

In answering this, please assume I am technically hopeless! I have a
new
Outlook 2007 to install on my laptop (with Vista) which has Outlook
2002
at
present. Is it Ok just to run it and it will overwrite the existing
programme
and keep all existing files (emails, address book etc)?

I would wish to back up my existing files first but I'm not sure how
to.
Unless this happens automatically, it is not currently done (which I
guess
is
pretty stupid). I have looked at other messages here and I can't even
find
the location of the Outlook programme on my C drive as suggested in
some.
Some simple instructions would be appreciated.
