Default Remove older copies of Office before installing 2007?

Do I have to delete all other trials and older copies of Office before
installing Office 2007? Or will it write over top of previous versions?

Hi,

No, you don't have to remove the older versions. This is especially useful if you want to run both versions for a while. The
Word/Office installer will give you the option to replace the old version or keep it.

I have Word 2002 from MS Works and PowerPoint and Excel from Office 97 and a
60 day trial for Office 2007 on a new laptop. Now I have purchased the Office
Home and Student 2007. Can I just load the new Office H&S 2007 CD or do I
need to remove the old Office 97, etc. first?

To be okay with installing your purchased version, you must uninstall at
least Office 2007 trial version. I would also uninstall the Word and other
programs from 97.
