Hi Sue, I work for Microsoft and hope I can answer your question. 2007 will import your data from 2003 if you install it correctly. If you don't currently own a license for 2003 (if you were on trial only) you will need to buy the full version of 2007. I am running 2007 - one computer with Windows Vista and the other with Windows XP. I like both. Office 2007 is very different looking that 2003, but when you get used to it, it has some very cool features worth purchasing the newer version.
