Clarification requested: Installing Office Home and Student 2007 andmaintaining components of Office

[Desert Rider]

As is typical (at least for me!) a poorly worded earlier post has left
me uncertain about the replies provided. I would like clarification if
possible.

I am posting for a friend. He is currently running a full version of
Office 2000 Pro on a Windows XP SP2 system. He has purchased a Full
Version of Office Home and Student 2007. This includes Word 2007,
Excel 2007, PowerPoint 2007 and OneNote 2007.

He would like to use the newer versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint
yet still retain Outlook 2K, Access 2K and Publisher 2K. Should he un-
install the Office 2000 components that he will be installing from the
new full version of Office 2007 H & S? I assume (always dangerous!)
that he would do this through the Control Panel>Add or Remove
Programs>MS Office 2007 SR-1 Pro>Add or Remove Features.

I have read other posts that say that, while not recommended, two
versions of Office can be run on the same system and also read the MS
Support Article 928091 about this, He will never use the older
versions of the components listed above (Word, Excel and PowerPoint)
once he installs the new Office suite.

Should he just install the new suite to run side by side with the
Office 2K suite or should he uninstall those Office 2K components that
the new suite will install?

Insert Ofice 2007 cd, select upgrade
Office 2007 featured components will update corresponding Office 2000
components, leaving Outlook/Publisher/Access 2k intact

Outlook 2k will not be able to use Word as its editor, certain Office 2007
integration may not be available with Outlook 2k
