Yes you can upgrade to Office 2007 Professional and the good news is
that you also get free upgrade to Office 2010. The rules are:
Qualifying products for upgrade:
Microsoft Works 6.0-10 (With patch for Works 9);
Microsoft Works suite 2000-2006 or later;
any 2000–2007 Microsoft Office program or suite;
any Microsoft Office XP suite except Office XP Student and Teacher.
*Microsoft® Office 2010 downloads will be accessible at general
availability. Discs can be ordered for a fee. Eligible Office 2007
software must be purchased from Microsoft or an authorised reseller and
activated between March 5, 2010 and September 30, 2010. Request your
Office 2010 product by October 31, 2010 using your activated Office 2007
Product Key and dated sales receipt. One Office 2010 product per
qualifying Office 2007.

The above link is for EMEA but I am sure it also applies to USA.
