Office trial has expired, how do I export my info from Outlook?

[Guest]

My computer came with Office 2003 trial edition installed. My trial has ended
and I would like to export all my information from Outlook, so that I can
remove the Office 2003 install and install my copy of Office XP. Then import
my Outlook info into that version. It appears that the Office 2003 trial will
not let me do this now that my trial has ended. Does anyone know how to
accomplish this, or will the trial version hold my info hostage until I buy
the new license?

You waited too long. You have no options left.
Only Outlook 2003 lets you create a PST file that is compatible with earlier
versions, and exporting would never accomplish that. You need to create a
PST file in the old format expressly with the File > New > Outlook Data File
command while still running Outlook 2003.

I have heard that some people have had success rolling back the system time
a couple of days before the trial expires and then creating the old style
..pst file.
