Outlook upgrade - potential complications???

[Guest]

I have Office 97 SR-2 running on Windows 98 SE

I would like to use Outlook for internet email but cannot do so because Outlook 97 does not authenticate SMTP mail. Will upgrading to Outlook 98 solve the problem? (I have an Outlook 98 CD.

Would there be any other problems installing Outlook 98 on top of Outlook 97? Do I need to remove Outlook 97 first

Will there be any compatibility issues using Outlook 98 with the other Office 97 applications? I recall reading somewhere that to use Word as the email editor, both Word and Outlook have to be the same version. Given that Outlook 98 was available (I gather) as a free upgrade, will I be able to use Word 97 as the email editor

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Upgrading to Outlook 98 is a good idea indeed if you have the CD available.
No clean install needed. Outlook 98 and Word 97 can work together indeed.
