Will Office 97" work on Windows XP home Edition?

[eno]

Wanting to buy a new computer that runs Windows XP home, I have Office 97 and am wondering if I will be able to use it on WindowsXP. I have 97 files on my old computer that I must be able to access on this new computer, I must know if it will work before I purchase this machine.





PS I am asking this question for someone, and please I do not have much other info, nor do I have the ablility to test this out. Thanks.

To answer your question, yes, Office 97 will install and work fine on Windows XP home/pro edition. Your probably wondering because you have Office 97 on cd but if you do have a newer version of Office including Office XP your older files will convert just fine. Most Office docs even open back and forth between versions without conversion.

I have been using XP Home and Office97 for about a year now with not problems.

Sure, It will work fine. There are some small bugs that may pop up though.
