180418	2003-10-04 10:02:00	I would like to buy Excel 97 or even Office 97. I have Excel ver4 but its hopeless, people have to save their files as ver4 to send to me. For all those PC goody goody two shoes, I am not after a rabbit version but original CD. I have MS Works 2000 (OEM) installed, will there be a conflict with office 97?. I was thinking about MS Word mainly, would the computer blow up if Word 97 was installed over Word 2000? I live in Dorkland but can drive a 100 miles or so North or South to pickup in my trusty E93A. Thanks tedheath :)	tedheath (537)

Office 97 has some "advantages" in that its a good package with most of the goods you need, and it doesn't need to be Activated. Activation is always a risk with second hand copies of Office 2000 or later. You never know if you will be allowed to install it. I know that Office 97 lives OK with Office 95 as a dual install. Also Office 97 and 2000. Its just the order they are loaded. Oldest first. If you can track down a copy of Excel 97 only, it would also be fine.	godfather (25)
