Microsoft office 2003 to Microsoft 2007

[Ashley]

I am currently using Microsoft office 2003 with excel, word, powerpoint,
access, infopath and outlook express. I now want to upgrade to Microsoft
office 2007. When I do so, will all my files, contacts in outlook express
etc transfer to the newer 07 version? Do I have to transfer the information?
Will I lose any information? Will the 2003 version be deleted from my
computer?

Ultimately, I do want to be using the newer version and don't want to use
the 03 anymore.

One more question; When Outlook express is set up on a specific computer
(eg. companies computer at the office) how can I access my emails from home
or just another computer in general?

Thanks I hope someone can help...

Probably a typo on your part, but Outlook Express isn't part of Microsoft
Office. Outlook Express/Windows Mail is a program that comes with the
Windows XP/Vista operating system.

To answer your question, yes, and upgrade from Microsoft Office 2003 to 2007
will retain all of your settings and such. My advice to you for the best
upgrade experience is to uninstall Office 2003 first, reboot, and then
install Office 2007. There shouldn't be anything you have to do for Office
2007 to pickup all your Office 2003 configurations and use them.

As for accessing your organizations e-mail system from home is best answered
by your organizations IT support staff since they should let you know what
they will/won't support and/or have a corporate policy of what is acceptable
use.
