I had no problems installing Office 97 on either computer I have,
using
Vista Home Premium. It is working great, even including Outlook in
the
install.

Why would you even BOTHER with Office 97 when Open Office 2.4 and
Thunderbird 2 are SO much better and FREE?

Your opinion, bozo.

Maybe the OP installed it because it's a familiar product that meets
the needs.

Ya THINK???


Hmm An Office suite that is TEN years old, is clunky, has many security
holes, is just plain OLD. Has far less functions than OO and more
importantly, has had NO updates for YEARS....do I need to go on?

A rational, well thought-out reply.....

I thought his/her first reply to you was "rational and well thought
out". You jumped in on someone who is happy with their installation
and recommended something else when your opinion wasn't asked for.


His first response was, I agree, rational. But not reasoned.
Who in their right minds would deliberately choose an Office suite that is
ten years old, designed for

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........... ......

W95/98, full of security holes, has not had any
enhancements for years, is clunky, is (IMHO) the worst Office suite MS ever
produced, over one that is free, is being developed as an on-going project,
is up-to-date, and has many functions built-in that 97 doesn't?

And BTW, if you haven't yet noticed, 99% of Usenet is OPINION, even yours.
So stop jumping up and down in your pram.

Why I took you out of my killfile I don't know. THAT was irrational.
Bye Bye moron.

Office 97 is not compatible so don't try installing _any_ part of it.
You could use Open Office, it's free. Use Google to search for it.
If you need Word and/or Excel viewers they are available for a free
download at Microsoft's website.
Office 2007 Home & Student can be obtained online at reasonable
prices...check eBay, Amazon etc.
That comes with Excel, Powerpoint, OneNote and Word plus various tools.

Try Microsoft's Removal Wizard.
The Removal Wizard can detect and remove Microsoft Office 4.x, Office
95, Office 97, and Office 2000, as well as MultiLanguage packs and
individual Office applications. A companion file list allows you to
review and edit the detailed list of files that can be removed. The
Removal Wizard does not remove documents or other user files from the
computer.
The Removal Wizard is automatically installed on your computer when you
install the Office Resource Kit (orktools.exe). You can find this
downloadable file on the Office XP Resource Kit Downloads page. To
locate the tool, click the Start button, point to Programs, point to
Microsoft Office Tools, point to Microsoft Office XP Resource Kit Tools,
and then click Removal Wizard.
'Office XP Resource Kit Downloads'

I'm not sure but you may have to install it in compatability mode with
XP SP2.
