if I install Outlook 2007 can I rollback to 2003

[Biggles]

I am trialing Office 2007 with Vista Home Premium 64bit. When installing "it"
wouldn't allow dual versions of Outlook.
1. How can I ensure my data is kept safe for Outlook 2007 to pick up?

2. Will I be able to roll back to Outlook 2003 if needed?

Thanks
Paul

Make a backup by copying the PST to another folder. Outlook 2007 should reuse
the mail profile from Outlook 2003, but often the installation will create a
broken mail profile. It's a simple matter to create a new one and reuse the
existing data.

Sure, by uninstalling Office 2007 and reinstalling Office 2003. In this case,
a new mail profile is definitely worthwhile.

Save a copy of the *.pst files to some other location, eg Documents folder.
Ensure outlook is closed during this
Roll back, no, other than uninstalling 2007 then reinstalling 2003
