Hi. My Dell came preloaded with Office Small Business 2003 trial--no
activation code given. Since rollout of 2007 was imminent, I ordered Office
2007 Business from another vendor but the software won't be delivered before
2003 trial expires on 1/31/07. Any suggestions?

Also, can I intall Office 2007 OVER 2003 or must I delete 2003 first? If I
must delete 2003 first, how can I import my email, contacts, accounts, etc
into 2007 Outlook?

Download and install one of the 2007 trial versions. Probably you'll want to
use the same version as the one you purchased, though.

You can install over 2003. But since it's just a trial version, I'd probably
go ahead and uninstall it first. Your PST files (which is where your mail,
contacts, etc., are kept) should be fine. You can make a copy of the PST
file to another folder as a backup if you want. See also
