You need to do an "Archive & Install" of Leopard.

"Archive and Install" moves existing system files to a folder named Previous
System and then installs Mac OS X again.

Just be sure to check Preserve Users and Network Settings when you select
Archive & Install.

Will I need to remove Leopard from the system first? (If so how do I
go about doing that?)
Or just run the archive & install on top how the system is at the
moment?

Just choose Archive and Install from the options that come up on the Leopard
installation CD.

It creates a new system folder, so it's side-by-side with the present one.
If all goes well subsequently and you want to save disk space, you can
delete the previous system in due course.

So I'm going to need to back up all my current files and documents
that I wish to keep first as I will need to format the system?

(Cheers for this btw guys, I'm relatively new to Macs and this is a
great help)
