Office 97 runs just fine on an xp system - there is also an Open Office option
available to you for free and that works as good or better than M$Office works
with M$ files just fine and with out the security violations - however to be
honest I still run M$.

For my old pc - W98, I purchased Microsoft Office 97 and I also have the
Office 97 SR2 Patch it came out with later.
My question is: since I am running XP, can I install the programs from
Office 97 that I need? NOT Word 97 obviously since Word 2002 SP3 is already
on the new computer. I am thinking that there must be a custom install that
will let me install only the parts I need. I am afraid of a conflict of OS
versions.
I could just go ahead and install those parts AFTER I set a restore point,
just in case, LOL. But first I'd like to see what problems I might run into.
Has any one here had any good/bad experiences doing this? Any advice is
appreciated. BTW, I did check at eBay for a newer version of Office...but
they were way too proud of the ones listed! I cannot afford the prices they
are asking and getting.
TIA,
Sammi
