Niether upgrading or uninstalling has any effect on data, but a backup of
said data is allways wise.
You can select the 2007 components to be installed, but that might impact on
the actual intergration / usability of the components, which rather negates
installing 2007 at all.
What did you want left of 2003 and why?

I presently have Office 2003 Standard Edition and would like to upgrade to
Office 2007 Ultimate. I am running XP Pro SP3. What is the best way of
doing
this without losing all my current data? Also, can I pick the programs I
want
to upgrade to or do I need to install the whole 2007 program?
Thank you,
Bob
