Can I download 2003 over 2000 without losing date?

I have been using Office 2000 but would like to update. I have the Office
2003 disc but am afraid I'll lose att data from the 2000 version. Please
advise.

Have no fear Liz:

There's a white paper available with all the details on migrating from
Office 2000 to Office 2003:

It may get pretty technical, but in general unless you're a power user you
shouldn't notice much change when upgrading. The files you created with
Office 2000 should stay put on your machine and will be accessible with
Office 2003. Make sure you back up Outlook emails in a .PST file and export
your contacts to be safe, but otherwise you should be fine. Unless you have
an upgrade CD, make sure to uninstall Office 2000 via Add/Remove programs
before installing Office 2003.
