I am downloading this version of Office to trial it while taking a class. I
already have the 2003 version and I'm not sure I will purchase the full 2007
package once my trial is over. If I uninstall the program once my trial is
over, will my pre-existing Office (2003) be available the same way it was
before?

Why not install the Office 2007 Trial into a different directory than the Office
2003 that is installed at present. This way one will not bother the other and you
will have no issues once the 2007 Trial is uninstalled

By default all versions of Office since 2002? install to a version specific
folder
Office 2003 = \Office 11
Office 2007 = \Office 12

Unless the class is on using Office 2007 don't bother. Just download the
free file converters in the Microsoft Office 2007 Compatibility Pack.

There are problems having two versions of Office on the same computer. They
are not major, but they are still problems. Maybe just remove 2003, then
reinstall it from CD when you are done playing with 2007. You might want to
read this entire article first.

Any trial that is used will not affect any other software on the computer in
any way.

Depends whether the OP kept Outlook 2003 or installed Outlook 2007. If the
latter then he might have to do a repair of Outlook 2003...
