Remove old Office - Install new w/o losing Outlook contacts etc ???

[tmb]

I want to completely uninstall an old copy of Office and install a new
version I just bought. Virgin install.

I do want to keep the Outlook contacts, emails, etc.

What are the risk I run in doing this?

thanks for any help.

None of the data created by Office is removed when you remove the older
version. However, to be safe, backup your .pst file(s) as that is where all
of your Outlook data resides.
