Can I remove old latex paint from woodwork?

The house I bought was not loved. They got paint all over the lovely woodwork. It's probably 7-8 years old by now. Can I get it off, or would I need to refinish the woodwork? I don't think I'm up to stripping and refinishing so much woodwork, so should I just paint it?
