Office 97 in Windows XP works extremely well. When XP was released, there was intended to be no support for Office other than Office XP. Thousands of questions were raised whether Office 97 would work in Windows XP and it was totally discouraged by Microsoft every time. After about 6 months somebody (like a big company) tried it and since it worked quite well, the news began to filter out. Within another 6 months there was all kinds of support info for Office 97 under XP as if the disinformation campaign had never existed.
