What sort of information are you looking for? the only thing I can think of
is to either make sure that all your 2007 format documents have been saved
in 97-2003 format, or to install the compatibility pack once you have
reverted to 2003...

I just recently installed an upgrade to microsoft office 2007. I am
now looking to go back to m/o 2003 pro. How can I do this with loosing
anything or messing anything up. I do that im am going to have to save
a file from outlook, but im not sure which one. Or should i just
uninstall 2007 all together and reinstall m/o 2003 pro?

I put the 2007 cd back in and it gave me a choice to unistall M/O
2007. If I said yes, will it revert back to M/O 2003 as I orginally
had?

To revert back to Office 2003 from Office 2007 you will need to uninstall Office 2007 and re-install Office 2003. Save all your files and then you can put them back into Office 2003 later

yes it's a good idea to backup, but uninstalling 2007 and re-installing 2003
shouldn't affect any DATA files.....

No, you need to re-install 2003. However what Peter said is incorrect - yes
backup your data files but if all goes well there should be no need to "put
them back into Office" as he quaintly puts it.....an un-install and
re-install should not affect any DATA.....

And how will he get the different data back in there when downgrading cleanly . Magically it will appear already installed back in the 2003 version all by itself ??. pst and doc and ppt etc

Have done a few here for some clients and always had to put them back into the different version being downgraded after a clean new installation

Doing an Upgrade then I will agree with what you are saying

of course they will. Uninstalling an office product does NOT delete
DOCUMENTS that were previously created. All the OP has to do is to do
File-Open (in Word say and navigate to where his documents have been stored
all along.

Now if you are talking about SETTINGS, then that's a different matter, but
just uninstalling Office 2007 ans re-installing Office 2003 has NO EFFECT
WHATSOEVER on documents created by the OP....

Have done a few here for some clients and always had to put them back into
the different version being downgraded after a clean new installation


Well you must be doing something wrong then.....

Ok guys, thanks for the info. I did delete M/O 2007 and reinstalled M/
O 2003 and everything seemed to be where it was. I did backup my
outlook mail so I wouldnt loose anything there.
Thanks again for you help.
