office 97 and xp home

[Bert Kinney]

Hi Jonny,

Yes Office XP will install.

I would suggest running MS Office Update afterwards.

I am sure he asked if Office 97 would work...............
You can try it, I am pretty sure Office 97 will work with Windows XP.

 

[Bert Kinney]

That's correct. But the answer is the same. It will work, but needs to
be updated.

Office 97 SP2 will work fine, a couple of minor niggles are that the
spellchecker may not work in Outlook Express, and the "send to email" option
in Word may not work. There are fixes for these.

niggles!
sounds like i need to add this into my anti-gigglesware...?

Thanks for the added info Ian.

Yes, it definitely works. Even Office 95 works (or at least Word 95, I
haven't tried the other components).
