Hi John.  It's always best to install clean instead of upgrading.  Even tho
I have successfully upgraded Office 2K to XP a few times, if you have the
choice, I would say uninstall 2K and install XP clean.  The only thing you
would want to do is, if you have email and addresses stored in Outlook, find
your outlook.pst and make sure you associate that with your new install.
But, if you haven't really been using Outlook, you don't need to bother.

Kind of a wishy washy answer, eh?  If you were going from 97 to 2K or 97 to
XP, I would definitely say, uninstall and install clean.  But, I find the
upgrade from 2k to XP to be really smooth, unless you are having problems
with 2K that is.

Hmmm....the more I talk, the more wishy washy I sound on this one. LOL

Stick with us, buddy, and you WILL have lots of scripts, macros, templates,
etc.  ;-)
