Reinstalling Outlook

[RickAMoore]

I read the following posts, but the persons last question received no answer.
Can someone answer the folloing questions?
1) <<<"I have a similar problem, and have tried using repair, to no avail.
The only option left is to remove Outlook and re-install from scratch. Will
the
contacts and e-mails be lost?">>> and, my question is
2) Do I need only to back up my .pst file? Is that the ONLY data file used
by Outlook?

Note, better to make a backup
If you deinstall your Outlook.
