Can I install Outlook 2003 on a PC while keeping the other Office 2000 apps
that are already installed? If so, where can I obtain Outlook 2003?

Yes, but not avisable. You have to do a custom install to a diff
directory--not the default one--and then you will not be able to use Word as
an editor or even use spellcheck, since versions must match. And you must buy
it as a stand alone for about $109. Easier to buy Student & Teacher version
of Office for about $129. Everyone qualifies if it's for private use.

No they don't. From

If you are... ...your status is
A full-time or part-time student currently enrolled at an accredited
K-12 education institution organized and operated exclusively for the
purpose of teaching its students.1
A K-12 student under the age of 18 attending a legally recognized
home-schooling program.
A full-time or part-time student who has completed K-12 educational
requirements and is enrolled and taking at least six credit hours in an
accredited institution of higher education.1
A full-time or part-time faculty or staff member of an accredited
educational institution, working at least 20 hours a week and who has duties
related primarily to the education of the institution's students.1
A household member of a person who qualifies.
Nothing about "Private" use there.

Are you sure spell check only works if you install the full version? I know
there are problems with Outlook Express, spell check, and some versions of
office , but this is the first thing I've heard about Outlook's spell check
not working (it includes the office spelling engine, so it should work).
While there is no mechanism for checking who qualifies for Student & Teacher
version, it's only legal for families with students (K through college) and
teachers.

Yes, you can. Just be aware that you will not be able to use Word as your
email editor in Outlook. Nor will you be able to do a mail merge with
Outlook and Word. Spell checking will not be affected. It will work fine.
As far as where to obtain it, as Mary said, you may be better off with the
Student and Teachers Edition. That way, your entire suite would be the same
version and the components would work together flawlessly. Either way, the
Internet probably offers the cheapest prices for any of the Office products.

This isn't true, either. Everyone does NOT qualify. See
