Upgrading from Office 2002 to 2007

[bernieraffe]

Using WIn XP and Office 2002

I'd like to upgrade to Office 2007, is this straightforward and will all of
my Word files, Access databases and emails/contacts/appointments still be
accessible after I upgrade.

I use various applications that use Access databases, will they still be
able to access the MDB files etc... I'm worried about the risk of losing (or
being unable to access) this valuable business information.

Is there a complete set of instructions for perfoming this upgrade?

Thanks for any help
Bernie

Everything should be fine.

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea however to test 2007 on another machine
first, just to test. If everything goes well then upgrade. Upgrading doesnt
require any instructions...

Put in the disc.. when it comes up, choose upgrade.

Also the installation/uninstallation of office doesnt affect data files on
the machine so if for some reason you decided you needed to uninstall 2007
and go back to 2003 that also shouldnt be a problem and shouldnt affect any
of your data files.
