Not necessarily. I've only had full versions tho.

What do you mean by full versions. mine is the student and teacher edition
2003 which can go on 3 computers, that i bought for my daughters lap top, i
have xp on my desk top and thought i would put 2003 on it, should i uninstall
office xp before installing 2003?

Not necessarily. I've only had full versions tho.

It means that I did not have a S&T version, nor have I ever had an upgrade.

Which edition of Office 2002 do you have? I'm asking because the S&T version
may not have something that your 2002 version does have.

Hi,
You can install office 2003 over office xp, any version. What office 2003
will do is detect your previous version of office (in your case office xp)
and upgrade it. What it also does is that it has a rollback feature, that is
if you want to uninstall office 2003 in the near future, then you can do so
and your office xp will be restored. But the only thing is that when you
upgrade from office xp to 2003, it saves the previous version on your hard
disk and occupies some space. I would suggest that if you are short of space
you should uninstall office xp during or before installation.\
