Can I have both Office 2003 and Office 2007 on the same PC?
I have a PC that came with Office 2003 pre-installed at C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office. I qualify for the Home User Pack and can either upgrade to, or install, Office 2007. I would like to keep both versions on the PC as some users won't like the transition. I presume I can create a new folder at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 2007, or C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\2007 and install Office 2007 there such that I can have and use both versions on the same PC at the same time. However when I start the install process I get all sorts of dire warnings in respect of Outlook. If I have both Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 installed and operational on the same PC are there any issues I should be aware of? I would like to transfer my existing Outlook files (.pst and .ost) from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007 - I am the only user of the PC that uses Outlook. How would I go about this? Are there any other issues I should be aware of? TIA. Chris. |

You cannot have both version of Outlook installed. It's one or the other.

OK. But how do I transfer my existing .pst and .ost files and any others
that are necessary from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007 in order that I can retain my existing Messages, folder structure, Calendar, Tasks etc? Presumably I have to somehow save these before I delete O 2003 and then configure O 2007 to pick these up after installation. But how? "JoAnn Paules" wrote in message ...

Oops! Office 2002 not 2003 as previously suggested.
Just established that my existing version is Outlook 2002 SP3, not Outlook
2003. No wonder the proposed solutions don't fit. How can I have both Office 2002 and Office 2007 on the same PC at the same time? I understand there might be issues with the different versions of Outlook. How do I get around these? "Chris Mitchell" wrote in message ...

If there will be trouble with the transisiton, then don't give it to them. Keep '03 and forget about '07. No, you cannot have both. |

Can I have both Office 2003 and Office 2007 on the same PC?
We use Office 2007 at work and some aspects are much better, e.g. the limits
on Excel 2007 are much greater than Excel 2003 which means you can handle significantly greater volumes of data, and it's more intuitive. So I want to upgrade. "Jeff Strickland" wrote in message ...

So I want to upgrade. Well then, your choice is made. Migrate to '07 and hold training courses for your employees. You do not have an option of avoiding confusion that the migratiion to '07 might create because there are features that you deemed to be more valuable than the avoidance strategy of maintaining your instalation of '03. You say that '07 is more intuitive, that is precisely what I do not like about the suite. I find that the structure and location of features is counterintuitive. I am not confused by the changes, but I am confused that anybody would think the changes are actually helpful ... |
