How can I install office 1997 in Windows 7? I like the simplicity of office
1997 can not install it. Up to Vista this was no problem so I wonder if this
is specific for Windows 7?

What does "cannot install it" MEAN? What happens when you try?
I have to say that I would advise against using such an obsolete and
vulnerable Office suite anyway.
If you can't afford a new version, look at Open Office. (It's free...)

Try running Setup in compatibility mode. Insert CD, right click Setup icon,
Properties, Compatibility tab. After you get done, you may have to do the
same for installed apps. I don't know if this will work on a CD file,
because they are read only, but it is worth trying. If that doesn't work
try copying the CD to a USB drive and set the Properties of Setup there.
