Can I use update Office small business 2007 if I removed my 2003

[Karen]

I removed my microsoft office 2003 version after attempting to upgrade to a
trial 2007 and the 2007 messes up and is not giving me spell check with
Oulook Express. Instead it was using French and would not give me a choice
to change it to English.
Now I don't want to waste the money I spent on the 2007 office small
business 2007 upgrade product if I need to have the 2003 on there??? I only
have the trial that expired a while ago?
Can I use the Upgrade to Office Small Business?
Thanks

Hi Karen,

Normally, if you have either the upgrade qualifying product, in your case Office 2003 original product CDs, if the Office 2007
upgrade doesn't locate an installed qualifying product it will ask for the location and you can insert the CD then and 'point' the
installer to it.

You shouldn't need to first reinstall the qualifying product. Sometimes, if the qualifying product is a broken install the new
version installer may not 'see' it.
