Installing Office 2003 over Office XP

[Chad Harris]

1) If you get Office 2003 Professional, can you install over Office XP? Is
it preferrable and what are the reasons, to uninstall Office XP first and
what is the best way to handle Outlook as far as issues with saving or
transferring mail, .dbx files, ect.

2) If one just had Office XP Pro and bought stand alone Outlook 2003 what
would be the preferred way to handle the installation?

Thanks,

Chad Harris
