Upgrading from 2000 to 2003

I have the option at work to upgrade to 2003.
Obviously I am worried about my templates and personal settings.
What is the best way to protect these when the upgrade occurs?
Is there a site of the pros & cons, what to beware of, etc. relating to this
upgrade?
What problems/issues have other users come across?

Many thanks

To confirm what Graham said, if you install Word/Office 2003 *over* (rather
than *beside*) Office 2000, all your customizations, documents, templates,
etc., will be preserved. The main issue you will experience will be a much
more stable application that, when it does (rarely) crash recovers much more
gracefully.

Many thanks Graham and Suzanne.
I forgot to mention that I have Abode Acrobat 7 already installed without
any problems and have read here that there can be a clash between it and 2003.
Is it a major issue?

Not if it is patched with the latest updates.
