My company is looking at upgrading from Office 97 to
Office 2003. I am wanting to know all the possible
problems that I may encounter. Like if there will be
problems with e-mail changes or e-mail accounts have to be
reset with outlook, will the whole thing crash. What are
the biggest problems that could occur during the upgrade,
that I should be aware of.

Probably the most important thing to know is that it will only install on
Windows 2000 with SP3 or Windows XP operating systems.

For other system requirements, see

Actually, Office 97 will be a valid product for upgrade eligibility - see
this page for details:

Also please note that some recent versions of Microsoft Works now qualify as
well for Office suites.

I think that they got too many complaints about the upgrade eligibility for
Office XP and decided to be a bit more inclusive of their own products.
However, there is still no competitive upgrade - wonder why?

We are temporarily archiving this case as "unresolved" as we have not heard
back from you in 3 or more days.

Thanks
