Office 97 compatible W Vista?

Ron Carruthers

Had a question today asking if there were any problems running Office 97 on a
Vista machine. My guess was not, but does anyone have any experience to the
contrary?

Thanks

Office 97, 2000 and XP were not tested on Windows Vista and are not
supported. Some problems have been reported with these versions, but no
official fixes will be forthcoming.

Use at your own risk, or, if you do not want to spend the money on a newer
version of Office, try OpenOffice.org for a mostly compatible Office suite.

I have a couple of 97 Office programs installed on Vista. They work okay, I do
use the compatibility option.
