From: PRR on 24 Feb 2010 22:36 I have a copy of Office 2K3 and want to install it. I currently have Word 2002 installed via Works Office Suite 2006. Should I uninstall Word 2002 first? If possible I'd like to keep all my settings and stuff. Will it simply replace the winword exe? Or installing Office 2K3 over Word 2002, blow away all my settings and the normal template?
From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 25 Feb 2010 01:03 Whenever you install any version of Word/Office over a previous version, your documents and settings are retained. Since you are upgrading, you should be able to install Word 2003 over Word 2002 without any problem (users who installed Office XP over an existing version of Works with Word 2002 found that Word was not replaced, which sometimes caused license key issues later). -- Suzanne S.

From: PRR on 25 Feb 2010 08:49 Interesting. It detected a previous installation of Word, and asked what I wanted to do so I just told it to leave it there (not install a new version of Word), so all is well. I always thought that the Word used in 2003 was in fact, Word 2002--not that it would make that big of a difference to me, I'm sure the features aren't that different, and no I don't use mail merge. Anyways, I'm sure I've installed Office over pre-existing versions before, but don't recall seeing that option. Oh well. On Feb 24, 10:03 pm, "Suzanne S.

Many computer service consulting companies, but not all of them, offer their customers with professional training services which can be used to train the company�s own employees to perform specific tasks, in order to improve that company�s service quality and response, i.e., when employing computer service consulting companies either part time, or off base. -- sandypeter111

Word 2003 is actually a giant leap forward from Word 2002, so I would recommend that you uninstall Word 2002 (you won't lose your documents or settings) and install Word 2003. The UI is very little different, but many useful features have been added, and 2003 is a more stable version. -- Suzanne S.
