Computer Upgrade Please Help

I'm purchasing a new computer and need help with transferring my info.

I recently purchased Microsoft office 2003 as un upgrade, the new computer will just have Microsoft works on it not office. Can I install my Office 2003 update on this new machine? also what do I need to import to not loose any information? The old machine has all my contacts and folders since office 95 and Outlook 97

Thanks in Advance

I'll let someone else handle the contacts transfer.

OL stores mail,contacts etc in a *.pst file, which may be a hidden file.
Copy pst(s) to cd, from cd to new pc hd, remove read only flag, then in OL
File/Open/Data File.
Be aware OL2003, by default creates a new pst in a new format, allthough it
can read earlier version pst. So if you wish to take advantage of new
format, once old pst is opened you would need to move data from old pst to
new pst.
