Office 97 and Vista

[Thor]

Has anyone tried to install Office '97 in Vista?
(I know it is like trying use a cast iron skillet in a microwave, but I love
my Office 97).
I have Vista RC2 (Build 5744) and installed my trusty Office '97.

The installation went fine, but when I click the "Access" icon, I get a
message that:
"Microsoft Access can't start because there is no license for it on this
machine."
(Excel, PowerPoint and Word work fine.)

TIA

I have no personal experience with Office 97 on Vista, but you might try
renaming the Hatten.ttf font as described in

Thank you! It worked!

I didn't have the hatten.ttf file, but I did have the haettenschweiler.ttf
file.
Deleted the file and everything works great.

Again, thank you.

And thank you for letting us know. I gotta admit... my suggestion was
just a wild guess.
