Upgrading to Office XP from Office 2000

[John V]

Hi

I currently have Windows XP HE with Office 2000 Pro installed and I want to install Office XP Student and Teacher Edition.

I would like to remove all traces of 2000 and just use XP.

What's the best way of doing this whilst retaining all my Outlook settings (mail folders, customised views, messages currently in my Inbox) from Office 2000? Can I just pop in my Office XP CDs and put my feet up while the installer does it all for me or am I best to export my mail settings (how?) before completely uninstalling Office 2000 prior to installing XP?

Regards

John

Hi

Thanks for the overwhelming response. For anyone else that's bothered, you can in fact use the feet on the desk method.
