All of the documents you created will be separate from the Office program
files. They will not be removed when uninstalling the old version of
Office. Custom templates that you created might be an exception to this
statement. However, if you created such templates, you probably would know
where they were stored and could make a copy before uninstalling Office. I
am not even sure such customizations would be deleted.
Normally, when creating a document in Office it will be stored within the
"Documents" or "My Documents" folder, depending on which version of Windows
you are using. These folders will not be bothered by uninstalling Office.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Installing Office 2007 Re: Office 2007
andDocuments Created with Office 2000
Hi All,
When I talked to my tech this afternoon to ask about all those .tmp files
in
My Documents, I understood him to say that I should go to the Control
Panel
and uninstall Office 2000 before installing the downloaded version of
Office
Home and Student 2007 that I have. I don't have any reason to doubt him,
but, if I do uninstall Office 2000 first, I don't understand how the Word
2000 documents I created will remain. Could someone provide a fairly
non-technical explanation? His office is closed for the day.
Thank you,
Margaret

Office 2007 allows you to save documents as Word 97-2003. These are for
Word documents at least, and it should be possible with Excel
spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations. When you open an earlier
version of an office document, the word '[compatibility mode]' will be
displayed beside the document's name. This just means that any features
you wish to use that are only available in the 2007 system will not be
available until you convert to the 2007 equivalent format. Hope this
helps.

Good Afternoon,
I'm getting closer to installing
Office Home and Student 2007, but was wondering what will happen to the
documents I created with Office 2000 and sending 2007 documents to folks
with Office 2000 and 2003?
I think I saw somewhere that there's an add on or something at
Microsoft's
site to help with the 2003 situation, but how about Office 2000?
Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Margaret
