You have to install Office (or any other program, for that matter) into each
Operating System in order for the program to write entries in that Operating
System's Registry.

Office can be re-installed over itself each time. All that
matters is each re-installation write separate entries into the
registry for each OS used in as multi-boot configuration.

What you say is true to a point: The poster states that Office is installed
in a Win 2000 partition. You assume that partition to be FAT. I assumed
that partition to be NTFS. Win 98 does not see NTFS partitions.

In either case, one must install (or re-install over the top of itself)
Office while booted into the OS that one is using. If the first
installation was into a NTFS partition, then the Win 98 installation of
Office -- because Win 98 does not recognize NTFS -- will have to be a full
and separate installation.
