Scratching my head again........

So, should I uninstall the S/T version, then start installing the Pro
version. And when it ask me to - put it in the CD drive, I would put in the
older version of Office she has?


Thanks for you time,

Don't install it, just "show" it to the Office 2003 installation routine
when it asks - put it in the CD drive, allow Office 2003 to verify it and
then put back in your Office 2003 installation disk.
