Is it possible to uninstall/reinstall JUST Outlook 2007 and not the other
Office Programs from the Office 2007 Professional suite?

I had to reformat my hard drive and when I tried to save my Outlook data,
unfortunately, I used "export" instead of the proper way. It worked on my
husband's machine, but I had multiple email profiles whereas he just had the
one. When I tried to get my data back in, it was a mess. Now I don't care
about the old data and just want to start over fresh.

I've been through the Control Panel rigamarole--chosen "change
components"--told it to be "not available"--the reconfigure runs--Outlook
disappears. When I add it back, it's the same mess. My first clue should've
been that no reboot was necessary....

How do I start over fresh with an empty data file?
Will that erase the data in the Contacts folder? (found
under--User/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Outlook)
Also, what is the correct procedure for backing up/restoring Outlook data so
this doesn't happen to me again?

Thank you,
