You can install over the top of the previous version and select the option
to not keep any of the programs.

Hi Greg,

You can choose to have Office XP replace Office 2000
or to retain all or part of it. The default is replace
with newer version. Use the custom install choice to
have more control of the selections.

In either case, backup your files first, just in case
