Upgrading Office 2003 Beta

[Bob Simon]

I just bought Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003 to restore
functionality to Word, Excel, Outlook, and Powerpoint. Does this
version of Office have all the latest features that were available in
the beta for these four programs?

In one of these newsgroups I read that it's always a good idea to
un-install a beta version of software before replacing it with the
production version. After doing so, is there anything I should do in
the registry to clean things up?

For Outlook, I want to preserve my inbox and sent mail, plus all the
junk mail filter entries I added. Will the existing mailbox and
filters automatically be used if I uninstall followed by a fresh
install?

One more thing: can you heIp me locate my Junk Senders file.
Tools/Options and Tools/Rules and Alerts are greyed out in Outlook and
a hard drive search for "junk" or "senders" (including hidden files
and folders) didn't find it either. I found my outlook.pst file in
c:/Documents and Settings/Bob/Local Settings/Application
Data/Microsoft/Outlook

Also looked in
c:/Documents and Settings/Bob/Application Data/Microsoft/Outlook
but found nothing like "junk senders.txt".

The released version contains all of the functionality that the beta had,
just more stable. The installation of the released version will offer to
uninstall the Beta but it will preserve your files.
