MS Outlook not included in Office Home & Student 2007

[rwpm1000]

I currently use Office 2000 and use MS Outlook for my emails.
I have purchased Office Home & Student 2007 which doesn't incude Outlook.
If I load the software, will I lose use of my Outlook 2000 or will it still
be funtionable?
If I do lose it will I still be able to see my old emails or will they be
deleted from my PC?
I was thinking of transferring to Gmail, but don't think it's possible to
export my contact and old emails from Outlook 2000 to Gmail.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards

Sometimes when you install a newer version of Office on a computer that
already has an existing Office application on it, it will ask if you want to
keep the original application or not. What I would do first, before
installing is to backup your mailbox just in case. It is ridiculous that
Outlook isn't in Office H&S to start with, but that's another topic.

No you will not lose anything

Agreed, however you should make a backup of your PST just in case.

Thanks for your advice - I backed up my .pst files then held my breath as I
installed Office H&S 2007. Fantastic - Outlook 2000 still works.
