Installing MS Office 2003

I am currently running MS office 2000 Pro, and
I recently won a copy of MS Office 2003 Pro.
Should I uninstall office 2000 Pro and then load in the MS Office 2003? If so what will happen to all my documents (word, excel, etc) that I have loaded on my pc (they should be safe correct?)

My OS is WinXP Pro?
Thank you. :)

When you try to install Office 2003, earlier versions of Office are removed during the setup process

Thanks so much. :)

You're welcome. :)

Just for the sake of completeness, Setup should give you the option to keep any of your old versions alongside the new ones should you so wish. The only exception is Outlook which always removes the old version.
