upgrading to office 2007

[Pip Langford]

Hi

I have the Small Business 07 upgrade and want to install it, but also wish
to keep the old version active as well. Is this possible, or will the
upgrade completely overwrite the existing version? Thanks

Depends on which Office 2007 installation option you choose. If
you choose an Upgrade installation, then your older Office
version will be removed. If you choose a Custom installation,
then you can choose which of your older Office applications you
wish to keep and which ones you want removed. You can have more
than one version of most Office applications (Word, Excel, etc.)
installed side-by-side on the same computer, except that you can
only have one version of Outlook. See

using 2007 Office suites and programs on a computer that is
running another version of Office" for more information.
