I want to install Word 97 on my new XP SP2 computer. I'm trying to avoid
trouble in case there are compatibility problems. I've been searching the
net but can see very little mention of Word 97. Guess that's a good sign
but thought I should check with you. Thanks for any reply.

Word 97 will work fine under Windows XP.
 
Always Backup your Registry:

I have a new Dell Dimension and I have WinXP SP2, I went to install MS
Office 97 Pro and came up with an error, Windows Could not register at
htmlmarq.ocx

If you experience the same error I did, here is the fix to resolve it,
I tried it and Wow it works great, so does my MS Office Suite.

Good Luck,
