I bought MiS Office Professional 2003, I have some thing to worry before install it. My worry about is as follow:
(1). I current use Microsoft Office XP, before I will install MS Office professional 2003, should I save some portion that I need to keep in Microsoft Outlook (such as all e-mail in Inbox folder, all e-mail address in contact folder) to discket and import them after I install MS Office Professional 2003?

(2).I am worry about those portion that I need to keep will gone after I install MS Office Professional 2003. So please teach me what I have to do before Install MS Office Professional 2003.

Thank you very much for your time and attention. I am looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

Best regard,

segulls

seagulls,
Have a look at this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;287070&Product=ol2002
"How to backup, restore, or move Outlook data" specific to Outlook 2002.
You should also backup any files related to Office, such as Word .doc files, etc...

When you install Office 2003 you will be given the option to remove setup files to save disk space. It is best practice to keep these files on your drive. You will have an easier time updating and applying future Service Packs...

Installing Office 2003 does nothing to your data - it only removes the
previous version's program files and replaces them with Office 2003 program
files. Your data is not touched.

However, to be safe (and best practices dictate it), back up your files
(normally found in My Documents by default) and your .pst file (use Windows
search and turn on searching hidden/system files).

NOTE: To use Office 2003, you must be using Windows XP (home or
professional) or Windows 2000, SP-3.
