730942 2008-12-19 06:40:00 I have a new licenced copy of the above. I don't want to install it until I understand how best to do it and cannot find the answers to the following;
Should the (older) editions of Office 2000, Publisher '97, Outlook Express 6, etc. be uninstalled, prior, or will the installation process of the new software achieve that, concurrently? To what extent shall I save (for example) Word templates I've created, Address Book in OE, etc. prior, or will the installation process of the new software achieve that, concurrently. Thanks.

I would save your old office docs, then uninstall previous versions then install Office 07

Best check your templates though as not sure where they will be saved.
Documents won't be removed when uninstalling the old version of office.
As speedy said you can't remove OE and once you have installed the new office you will be able to import your address book into Outlook.

On XP yes you can. Add/Remove then Windows Components. Its one of the few bits MS does let you take out.

If you use Vista that is, if you use XP, you use Nlite.

Thats what I've just done with Nlite (not the above tho).

Just removed the games all languages except Eng. And added the IE 7 / WMP 11 updates. As well as the net framework files / updates in the slipstreamed CD.

All that the Add/Remove programs does for OE (and IE for that matter), is remove the shortcut to launch it. All the program files & dlls still remain.

You need nLite or XPLite to remove OE or IE properly.
