Default Upgrading from Office XP/2002 to Office 2003

I have a WinXP Pro computer with Office XP(2002) installed, including FrontPage 2002.
Office XP has performed flawlessly and has never given me any issues whatsoever (but I
need to upgrade Outlook because my PST is too large)

I just purchased Office 2003 Professional, which does not contain FrontPage 2003.

Can anyone tell me if there would be problems upgrading Outlook, Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, Access to Office 2003, but leaving FrontPage at 2002? Any warnings or advice
on the upgrade?

Thanks!!!

No problem to do the upgrade and it normally goes without a hitch but as
with any major undertaking on a computer a full backup of the system,
especially data, should be done prior to the upgrade.

Be aware your pst file will not be upgraded, it will remain in original
format, so you will need to create a new pst file and set this data file as
the default msg store, whether you want / need to copy data from the old to
the new data file is for you to decide

There's no converter to convert from the old PST format to the new?
