Office 2007 question

[Phate]

Hello all,

My uncles PC had office 2003 on it, the software became corrupt so I had to remove it completely, I kept the Outlook data file which is roughly 500mb.

Now I'm going back round tonight to install office for him, the only version I can get hold of is 2007.

Now, will I be able to import the office 2003 outlook data file into 2007? I know how to do this, I'm thinking of compaitability issues.

Any ideas people?

Many Thanks,

Phate.

Shouldn't be a problem. Just go to File -Import & Export. (Within Office 2007) and import the 500mb file into Office 2007.

As far as I know, there shouldn't be a problem - I know several people who have upgraded to office 2007 and have managed to retain their e-mails from 2000 and 2003. Best bet is to make a backup of the .pst your are importing and then try it, then at least you have nothing to lose!

Let me know if it works ok, because I might need to be more sure in the future!

Cheers guys, it would be stupid if you couldn't import the data files into 2007, but this is Microsoft afterall

Will try it tonight and let you all know!
