Default Office 2003 Failed OGA Can I install new Office 2007 over it?

Please can you help. My Office 2003 has failed its OGA so I have purchased a
new copy of Office 2007. Do I have to unistall Office 2003 first to avoid any
OGA issues or can I just install Office 2007 over it to keep all my
preferences and settings intact?

If you have an "illegal" version of Office I would strongly recommend
uninstalling it totally before installing your retail version of Office
2007. Data is normally not lost but you may want to save the outlook data
file (.pst) otherwise what are you worried about losing? Any add-ins would
have to be reapplied once the bad version is uninstalled. That way you can
avoid any possible issues.
