| 168881 | 2003-08-20 05:22:00 | Will Office 97 work on Windows 95? What about the new OpenOffice... worth a go on an old '95 machine? Need to open an Excel s/sheet and there's no app on the Win95 system - suggestions? |

| 168882 | 2003-08-20 05:43:00 | Well. I have loaded Office 97 successfully on a Win95 machine. I can't remember, but I may of loaded Office 2000 on it too. :) Its a P100 with 32 MB and 1GB of HDD, and I have upgraded it fully to Windows 98 *2nd ed* with Windows 2000. Its also quite stable. Good luck ;-) |

| 168883 | 2003-08-20 06:00:00 | Yes - Office 97 works very well with W95 - make sure after you install, to get rid of the dreaded find fast feature!! Bye |

| 168884 | 2003-08-20 06:04:00 | office 97 should work fine have it lying around somewhere if needed ,unlike its latest cousins which have become enormously bloated and resource hungry | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 168885 | 2003-08-21 00:19:00 | open office will run however it will be slow to open the programs. office 97 will run quicker. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 168886 | 2003-08-21 01:19:00 | I've had Office 2000, incl publisher etc working on Win 95. I think OfficeXP will only run on win98 and up. | PoWa (203) | ||
| 168887 | 2003-08-21 01:36:00 | You said you need to open an Excel spreadsheet. If you only want to view one (ie don't need to edit it) you could download Excelviewer (or Excel97Viewer - can't remember which) from M$ which will let you do just that. Alternatively you could get just Excel 5 without the rest of the Office suite. Don't get Excel 4 because it won't open Excel 5 and later files. | Robin S_ (86) | ||
| 168888 | 2003-08-21 05:14:00 | Halwende, Office97 runs well on Win95, it also contains Excel97 and Publisher97 and other small programs as well. Les3 |

| 168889 | 2003-08-21 05:26:00 | thank you all for the replies, I shall try and find Office 97 now, be it Trademe.co.nz or a family member with an old computer :) Thanks again | Halwende (3418) | ||
| 168890 | 2003-08-21 05:36:00 | > Will Office 97 work on Windows 95? Of course, considering the next version of Windows was in 98 (obviously after Office 97 was released) . Office 97 would have to have worked in 95, otherwise it'd have been unusable for the few months until Win 98 was released :D Mike . |
