Just search your hard drive for outlook.pst and make a copy of it and put it in another location, just to be sure it isn't removed when you uninstall Office (however, if you choose to just upgrade Office, this won't be necessary) Then when you install Office XP, the first time you open Outlook, it will ask you if you have a pst you want to use or do you want to create a new one...just tell it to use either the old one (if it's still there) or the one you copied.
