Office 2007 Home and Student Installation
I currently have Office 2003 with all the bells. The only thing I use
frequently is Excel, Word and PowerPoint. I purchased 2007 H&S so that I could get those applications upgraded. Do I leave the old apps on my pc and install the new software or do I uninstall just those apps and install the new ones then? I would really like to make it as clean as possible but don't mind leaving the old on my pc if that is best. I want to be able to view old documents also. Thank you. -- mcginnisdk

Office 2007 Home and Student Installation
JoAnn, thank you for your quick reply. Let me make sure I understand one
thing. If I uninstall 2003 Word, etc., will I still be able to open my old documents with the 2007 Word, etc.? I imagine it is backward compatible but I just want to make sure before I do it. Thank you again! -- mcginnisdk "JoAnn Paules" wrote: Your choice. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "mcginnisdk" wrote in message ...

Thank you again! Yes but 2007 defaults to a new format (docx) that 2003 cannot read with out an addin. You can set the default to be doc if you wish. The first link below is a set of converters for 2003 to allow it to read the new format, the second link will enable 2007 to save files as pdf files if you so require.

Yes
Theres no need to uninstall Office 2003, unless you want to. 2007 will update the 2003 components included in 2007 and leave those that are not eg Outlook 2003 "mcginnisdk" wrote in message ...
