Changing from FP2002 to FP2003

I already have FP2002 installed and it runs beautifully. I have full version
of 2003. Is there anything I ought to do before installing the new version?
I am also going to install Office Pro 2003. Is there any particuler reason
to do one before the other? Anyone know of any pitfalls I should avoid?

Go for it. You have the option of saving 2002 during installation if you want to. All your files/webs will be saved
Publish the entire site after upgrading to get everything in sync.

Only if you use a lot of themes, FP2003 has some new ones and dropped some old ones

On the off chance I want them, can themes be copied over if I keep both
versions on my computer. (For the time being I'll keep both versions just to
make sure everything is running smoothly. I'll uninstall it later. Might
even sell the old version for a few $$. Any one looking for a gently used
copy of FP 2002?)

If your theme has been applied to a site, when you open that site in
FrontPage 2003 that theme will be downloaded to your new Themes folder for
use later - so you shouldn't have any worries there. However, if you have
never applied a theme to a site and later realize you really really like it,
it won't be available and you'll have to find it somewhere else

I hope that makes sense, I haven't finished my coffee yet.

Actually, it pretty much does make sense but I just got home and haven't had
my cuppa Vanilla Chai. ;-)
