Can Office 97 be used in windows xp?

Yes.

Should be no problems. I know of at least one person running Excel 95 through
2003 on Windows XP.

95 would be run in "compatibility mode" I believe. 97 as is.

Office 2000, Excel XP and Office 2003. No problems with any of them.

Now i have no ideas about bits of these posts but i ill say totall
*yes* you can load all excel / office versions on any windows versio
if you go down, Office 2003 will not like Win95, 98, nt, but as long a
you have WinXp load a way you could load all versions i mean all eve
litle old excel 4 on floppy if you had it and it will run, the trick i
to change the installations directory for each, ie when loading Offic
95 make sure all directorys are ..Office95/ so office 97 will b
...office97 and so on, also be careful you must remove all existin
version from the install disk so they are totally removed [well best a
can] and load 2003, xp, 2000, 97, 95, 94, and so on, add wild cards suc
as excel 4 last and in same directory way to avoid clashes and stop
much of teh sharing tnay might fight a litle but this is the cleanes
way to do so the down side is the FULL install of all takes a lot o
hard drive space but hey if it must be done.

Also each load needs a tidy of start menu as will get messy and so on
the default will excel 2003 so be warned about backward
compatabilitys.
