Office 2003 Pro installed "over" Office 2000 Pro

I have Office 2000 Pro currently installed on my computer. It was an upgrade
from Works (which is also installed). I want to install Office 2003 Pro (not
an upgarde but a full retail version). If I want maximum stability and
minimum problems, do I uninstall Office 2000 and Works first or install
Office 2003 while everything else is still on the system?

Thanks,

George

Personally I would uninstall Works, since I would suggest it surplus to
requirements.
I seem to recollect upgrading an Office2k to retail version of 2003 without
problems, in fact I still have some components of 2k installed.
With outlook however you might want to create a new Profile - not copy - and
add a new format data file, add your accounts & test.
