Office 2000 to 3000

Got Office 2000 Pro installed. If installing Office 2003 Pro, do I
have to uninstall version 2000 before installing version 2003 or can
version 2003 handle version 2000 being there?

Thanks in advance....

Even if you have the Office 2003 UPGRADE version, you are far ahead of the game
uninstalling Office 2000 first. But remember to save any personl files tucked
away inside the folders created by Office 2000, i.e. your Outlook stuff for
example. Or any document templates you've created... Ben Myers

It was those Templates and other configurations I was trying to keep
from loosing. The Templates are easy but all the many configuration
choices I guess can not......

Thanks for the reply Ben, much appreciated.

In the past, I uninstalled most everything as a rule before installing a
later version. I'm beginning to find that some software has matured enough
to handle that well on their own, i.e. detect older versions, uninstall
them, then install themselves. Two examples are MS Office 2003 (from MS
Office 2000) and Norton SystemWorks 2005 Premier (from NSW 2003 Pro Ed). An
advantage is all custom settings and preferences are imported into the newer
version. Of course with advice like this, your mileage may vary.

On the other hand, there have been reported incidents (I've dealt with a couple)
where a new version of NAV did not go in smoothly over an old version and left
the computer without virus protection.

One of the most serious issues facing people today is to ensure that a computer
is free of viruses, ad-ware, spyware, trojans and all the other pests which can
cause a computer to hiccup. If they can make a computer hiccup under normal
usage, they can and will do the same with a software install or update. The
black little heart at the center of all this is the Windows registry, a database
design that was not born right.

As you say, mileage will vary... Ben Myers
