ReInstall of Office 2003 Pro

dennybud · 03-09-2009, 09:08 AM

Does reinstalling MS Office Pro 2003 wipe out all data from the previous install? It seems another incident of this reported from an acquaintance reported that the data was still there after the reinstall (emails, calendar appointments, etc)

Thanks in advance

Make sure you back up the .pst file and you'll be OK. That file can be located (unless you've changed the default locations) at:
C:\Documents and Settings\(your username)\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst

You can also find the location by right clicking on the PERSONAL FOLDERS icon, click properties>advanced and you'll see the location there.
