Outlook 2003 & Office 2007

[NOTTNICK]

I have been using Office 2007 beta ever since it first came out.
I will have to pay for it soon as I know it will expire in late March.
However, I have a problem, I have discovered that the teacher / student
edition does not come with Outlook now.
As a teacher, this is obviously what I want and I intend to get it..
I was using Office 2003 before, and have been using Outlook for years (it
came with the previous version).
So, can I use my original Outlook 2003 with the Office 2007 Student &
Teacher edition? I uninstalled my original office suite. What do I do? (it's
a real shame as I really like Outlook 2007, but it's a lot to pay for an
upgrade).
Thanks for any advice
Nick
Any suggestions please

You can! Both versions ¡X 2003 and 2007 ¡X can coexist. But to avoid any
problems you should first install Office 2003 and then Office 2007 [1].
If you only want to use Outlook from the Office 2003 suite, only install
Outlook (while userdefined setup uncheck the other applications [Word,
Excel etc.]).

If you really like Outlook 2007, there is an option to purchase just Outlook - here is the best deal I have found, including free shipping and handling:
