Will Office 97 Professional Edition work in Windows XP?

If not, are upgrades available, and what do they coast?

Thank you.

Works fine. No compatibility mode required. VBA works like it is
supposed to.

Your comment about VBA prompts me to ask:

I discovered Greg Chapman's website and downloaded his "file Cataloger". He
clearly states that all his utilities are for Word 2000, 2002 and Word XP
but I thought I would try it and see if it would work in my Word 97.

Indeed, when I click on its "New File", it correctly opens up the "File
Catalog options" page. But if I make my selections and click on "Start", I
get a Visual Basic error:
"Compile error in hidden module: frmOptions".

Seemed like there must be a problem with my Word 97 VBA and the one he used.
Is there any way to make that utility work within Word 97?

Thanks.

There is a problem with downward compatibility of some newer VBA
functionality, as well as Office2k, 2000, XP worksheet files. The
author might have used OS-specific windows api calls also.

I used the Split function which was new to Word 2000. And, of course,
when you click the Start button which is located on frmOptions, that's
when the function is used for the first time.

I'm not really too excited about supporting Word 97 anymore and I no
longer have an installation of it in which to test the rest of the
code (I'm sure there are other 2000 and newer features in use) but the
template is open and can be modified to your own tastes. So don't be
ashamed or afraid to modify it to your own tastes. If you'd like, I'll
gladly correspond via email if you encounter problems as you modify.

That's it in a nutshell, Quaoar. The Split function wasn't available
in Word 97 and I used it. I like it.<g>
