Will the 2003 download interfere with my files in the 2002 versio.

[CAnn]

I have the WIN-XP system and I am using Office 2002. I would like to try
2003, but was not sure whether the download would bother my current data
files. I am interested in using the available tutorials.

CAnn,
Do mean download the trial version? If so then you can either download it
here:
http://www.microsoft.com/office/trial/default.mspx
Highly recommend ordering the cd instead of the download.
Before installing the trial you should backup all your files, including your
Outlook .pst file. This utility works with the XP version of Outlook:

See this article on the changes to your .pst file when using Outlook 2003:

If you decide to keep using the XP version of Office you will need the
backups to restore your Office XP configuration to the point before
installing the trial version.
