If you can't afford a newer version, try Open Office.

What you should do.

Take a nice fresh copy of Windows ME. I'm sure you can find it somewhere.
Maybe Craigslist or ebay. Install it.

Take your Office 97 and install on your new copy of Windows ME.

Now you are set.

If that is way too complicated for you, PING Alias and he will be glad to
help you to move to Ubuntu. That could be your fallback.

Works fine. Don't know where you got the idea
it doesn't.

I dumped Vista for other reasons, but before I did,
I had Word, Excel, and Publisher '97 all running fine
on Home Premium.

If you're referring to the problem with SR-2 not
installing, that's addressed here:
