I did not get Outlook 2007 with my Office 2007 Trial Version.

If I go in and uninstall my '03 Outlook so that I am able to install the '07
Outlook will I loose all of my Outlook stuff (i.e. contacts, emails, etc)?
Do I need to push everything back into Express in order to keep all of that
info? Also, I'm using the free trial of '07 Office Small Business and don't
have a disk. Do I just need to go back to the site and re-download the free
trial in order to go to the custom install screen and get the Outlook
program?

Thanks for your help!

I take it you have not read the rest of this thread? You must explicitly
uninstall Outlook 2003 before Outlook 2007 becomes available.

Oulook I use exclusively (not express). Downloaded Office 2007 expecting
Outlook 2007 to be part of the program (as posted by Microsoft). Not to
be.
After going thru all kinds of bells and whistles trying to get Outl00k
2007,
all to no avail, did the next best thing. Thru Control Panel/add/remove
took
Office 2007 off my system, then did a local cleanup of all the the stuff
left
my Office 2007 & back to 2003, where I will remain til MS gets off its ass
and gets it right.

Hi Nallen,

MS Outlook Express is a part of Windows Internet Explorer, rather than a part of MS Office Outlook.

With any upgrade you should always back up your files before taking action, but generally, if you uninstall Outlook 2003 and, if you
have it, the Outlook 2003 Business Contact Manager, restart then install Outlook 2007 you should be able to continue to use the 2003
files from Outlook.

You can change the feature set from the installed MS Office 2007 software from Add/Remove Programs in the Windows control panel
without need to download again, unless you deleted all of the download files (not recommended).

The only trial edition of MS Office 2007 that does not include Outlook 2007 would be the 'Home and Student' edition.

I followed the instructions that everyone has been leaving about uninstalling
my old version and it worked perfectly. Once I went back to 2007 setup I was
easily able to add Outlook 2007.

May I suggest to Microsoft that 2007 setup (including trial) have a window
that asks if the user would like to run the 2 versions of office side by side
or do an upgrade. upgrade should install outlook, side by side should advise
that outlook cannot run in that mode and the user will need to uninstall the
old outlook to use the new one.

I take the back. It did not work perfectly. Sure, it installed okay. But now
when I open any office 2007 program it tells me that my trial has expired!!!!
I just downloaded the program and got my key today! and i have never had the
trial before. now i can only view files in all office programs .
uninstall/reinstall did not correct the problem.

(does anyone maybe know where the system keeps track of the trial time so i
can try to manually correct it???)

Hi Robert

May I suggest to Microsoft that 2007 setup ...

You certainly may, but not here. These newsgroups are not generally staffed
by Microsoft people: we're all volunteers.
