Windows Vista and Office 97

I am using my old office 97 on a vista computer and have no spelling and grammar checker.

I have found the solution that works for XP and office 97, which uses a couple of registry edits. Those edits are not applicable to vista.

Does anyone know of a solution?
 
I can't help with Office97, but have you considered OpenOffice to replace that with? It'll do spell checking, but I'm not sure about grammar. It's free to try, so you won't really lose anything :^)
 
Microsoft Office handles that chore with a common utility. It should be in Office 97, but - that is getting to be pretty old (like over 10 years!

Think upgrading to at least Office 2003 - especially with Vista.
 
Thanks guys.
I probably will go open office. Sad to say it doesn't have anything like front page included.
I paid big bucks for office 97 when I was working and now just 10 years later it's worthless to me. Too I am now retired and have limited income.

I can't help with FrontPage, as I don't use it. Try a Google search with the words frontpage-replacement-open source and see if you can use any of the results. I don't know enough about it to give a recommendation.
