Office 2003 needn't be uninstalled before installing Office 2010. Office 2003 can also read the files created in later Office versions if you install the Office Compatibility Pack, thus potentially obviating the need for Office 2010. Do note, though, that Office 2003 is no longer supported and, even with the Office Compatibility Pack installed, can't access the newer features introduced by later office versions (e.g. content controls, citations & bibliographies).
