outlook 2007

[Guest]

I recently installed the demo version of Office 2007, however I did not get
outlook 2007. I understand I have to remove outlook 2003 before installing
2007. My question is will I lose all my information, such as messages,
contacts, etc. when I install the new version?

Excellent question to ask before you do something! Just to be on the safe
side:

Is there a way to save all these files somewhere to be retracted later? I
would appreciate any help before removing my Outlook 2003, Thanks in advance.

You'd better make a backup of all your Outlook 2003 data before
migrating to Outlook 2007. To do this, please:

1. Copy the xxx.PST files to your backup directory or drive.
2. Use the "Office Profile Wizard" to save and backup most of your
Outlook settings.

After that, you can upgrade your Outlook 2003 to 2007. If the upgrade
fails, you can use the backup data to restore to the original version.

Okay, that sounds great. How exactly do I do this, I mean where do I find the
xxx.pst files and the "office profile wizard"? Thanks again for all your help!

In Control Panel, run the Mail applet. That's the "wizard" Alan mentions.
The Data Files button will tell you where your existing PST resides.
