I have office XP on my machine and I am thinking of buying
Office 2003 pro. Can I load Office 2003 without removing
Office XP? I dread loosing all the mail I have in Outlook etc.

You don't have to uninstall Office XP first. When you try to install
Office 2003, the installer program will see that you already have Office
XP and ask you something about whether you want to uninstall Office XP
or overwrite Office XP with Office 2003 (I forget the exact verbiage).
You can tell the installer program whether or not you want to keep
Office XP. Either way, it might be a good idea to make a backup of your
outlook.pst file before you start installing Office 2003, just in case
Something Bad happens. Ditto with your Word dictionary/autocorrect
list/custom templates, Excel templates, Powerpoint templates, etc.
