Office 2007 Beta

I currently have Office 2003 and would like to try the 2007 Beta. If I
install this, will it delete my 2003 stuff? Also, once the 2007 is official,
how will I go back to my original 2003 version. Thanks in advance!

I recently installed the beta 2007 while running 2003, and it offered me the
option of retaining all previous versions of Offices - except Outlook which
it said would creat conflicts.
Haven't uninstalled it yet - but I'd assume you just uninstall as normal and
reinstall Outlook by using the Add/Remove Programs to modify the installation.
If you go ahead and install the beta and you're also running MS Works, you
may find you have to completely uninstall and reinstall Works, as the beta
install throws it into some confusion. However, happy to say mine is now
running happily along side the beta - and love the look and feel of the new
2007 suite.
Incidentally noticed a couple of threads saying they'd paid for the beta
software - which I don't understand as it's free. I paid a pittance in
postage for mine because I wanted the disks rather than a download, but that
was all.

Thanks CJ! I paid $1.50 to download it, but I know that earlier, it was free.
Not sure why it now costs, but I can deal with that price.
