upgrade from Office Basic 2003

Can anyone tell me if I can upgrade to Microsoft Professional when I have
purchased my programs separately prior? I purchased Office Basic 2003 on
this computer originally than purchased Powerpoint and Publisher separately
at later times. To save $'s I would like to get the professional which
includes all of these programs, but also others that I don't currently have
or use. Thanks for the help.

Office 2003 Basic Edition is *not* a qualifying product for upgrade
pricing to Office 2003 Professional Edition. Office 2003 Basic Edition
*is* a qualifying product for upgrade pricing to Office 2007
Professional Edition.

Will all of the programs work that come with Professional, even if I don't
currently have them installed like Access, don't know what this program does.
Everything else (except the accounting) I currently have installed.

PowerPoint 2007 and Publisher 2007 are included in Office 2007 Professional
2007 and will replace your current 2003 versions when you install Office
2007 Professional UNLESS you tell the installation program to retain the
prior versions.

Access is a database program.

Accounting is an optional installation.
