Office 97 and Office XP

[Alfred Murphy Jr]

I have excel as well as word documents that I work on at
work. My pc currently runs Office 97. At home I have a
new pc that runs Office XP.
Why is my worksheets and documents (that are saved in
office 97)different when I open them in XP.
How can i fix this? Also how can i save documents and
worksheets in XP and reopen in 97 with the changes I made?
I want all my documents to open and saved the same and
look the same no matter what Office application i am using.
Please Help.

You haven't specified what the differences might be. If it is simply a
matter of different page-breaks then it may be because you have different
printer drivers in each location specifying different page sizes. If the
fonts are different, you may not have the same set on both machines.
