Yes absolutely.  However, only one version of Outlook can be installed.  Microsoft has a KB article relating to the installation of more than one Office suitehttp://support.micr osoft.com/kb/928091/en-us

Simply Install Office 2003 first, update it fully.

Install 2007 using the custom install option and do not let it overwrite or upgrade the previous install.  Once installed update fully.

Click Start, Run, type Regedit in the run field and click OK.

In regedit follow the instructions on the KB page about 2/3 the way down about running more than one version of Word.  Office/12.0 in the instructions is Office 2007.  Once you create the NoReReg in that location go to the Office/11.0 location and do the same edit.  That will prevent the registration of Word each time a different Word program starts.

There is no Office 2007 available.

Nothing will happen to the files. If you uninstall Office 2007 trial then office 2003 will not work you might have to re-install 2003.

If you have disc for office 2003 no need to worry much about it

    Hello,

    Thanks much for the quick response. By the way, I have another question though.

    I have Office 2003 installed on my computer, I would like to install Office Professional 2007 trial version, would that affect my files? Or would that be okay? And if I uninstall the trial, what will happen to my Office 2003? Please advise...

    Thanks in advance....
