try to insert a picture or some clipart it will say" The clip Gallery
Encountered and Error. Try restarting Windows or reinstalling microsoft
office applications." and then it will stop responding and not save my work

You are installing software which is years old and hasn't been supported for
the longest time. It was written for Windows 95..

Try Open Office.. www.openoffice.org

Office 97 is 12 years old. That's roughly 6 generations, in computer
years. It's not very realistic to expect it to be Vista-compatible.
The earliest version of Office supported on Vista is Office 2003.

Actually it is Office 2000 that is the earliest version supported on Vista

Actually, the "big 3" of Office '97: Access, Excel and Word work just fine
on my Vista machines (32- and 64-bit) and on both of my Window 7RC machines
(32- and 64-bit).

I've used Office 2000 Professional with Vista and no issues. Don't use
Outlook though.

Well i know not to use outlook cause it does not work but still if it
installed shoudent it work just fine but it will open on it and do everything
else but that and the only other way to add pictures is to coppy them and
past them to the document!!!!!

My mistake. Thanks for the correction. But doesn't Outlook 2000 have
problems with remembering passwords on Vista?

Then perhaps you should advise the OP on how to fix his problem, as
you've experience with this particular combination.

Since my installations of the Office '97 programs: Access, Excel and Word
have had no problems - just how can I help the OP?

Perhaps uninstalling Office '97 and then installing only those programs one
needs (i.e, Access, Excel, Power Point and Word) will solve the problem.

It would certainly be worth a try if these are the only programs the OP
needs.

Hope this helps!
