most of the custom settings will remain - the outlook profile will migrate
to 2003 and as long as you don't get errors, you can use it. But if outlook
doesn't seem to be working right, then try a new profile.

Thanks for your speedy reply!
When the install program uninstalls my 2000 Programs, will it leave all
the
individually created office files in their respective directories? Will
it
know to point to these same directories in the 2003 versions? Outlook is
my
main program. Could the XP settings and migration tool save my Outlook
2000
profile or is it better to (sigh!) just start over from scratch? Does
Outlook 2003 use the same PSTs (I use two), rules, etc. that I used in
Outlook 2000?
Anything else i should know about changing from Outlook 2000 to Outlook
2003?


Thanks again,

Just install it - it will offer to uninstall the previous version. The
only
thing we do recommend is a new profile in Outlook as upgrading from 2000
tends to cause more problems than usual with the profile.

I own MS Office 2003 All-In-One, full version. I would like to upgrade
