Hi, No, just install over the top - it will upgrade the XP to 2003. Thanks.

I am currently running office xp, but have just purchased a copy of office 2003. My query is, do I need to uninstall office xp before I install 2003, or can I just install over the top. Hope someone can help. Thanks. Sharon
