Office 2007 install tips Markb 5/6/2007 3:58:01 AM I want to install Office 2007 Standard. I now have Office 2000 installed. Are there any special steps I should take? Any pitfalls I should be aware of? Will all of my data files - .doc; .xls; .ppt - be accessible after I install 2007? What about my Contacts, Calendar, Tasks from Outlook? In other words, is installation going to be easy or a hassle? I will do the installation anyway, but want to know what to be careful of. TIA. mARK

Having said that, the upgrade should be smooth except for having to configure Outlook to use the Outlook Address Book service. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.
