Office 97, Office 2000, Mac Virtual PC with XP

[Jeanne]

Originally I bought Office 97 Professional Edition. I then bought the upgrade
to Office 2000 Premium. I just got rid of my old computers and want to run
my "Office" on my Mac, which has Virtual PC with Windows XP installed. I
tried to install the Office 97 so I could install the upgrade afterward.
Can't get Office 97 to install. Have tried to install just the 2000 Update
Version, but some aspects of it won't work. Since I had registered these
products, is there any way that I can get an update that will work on my
Virtual PC without having to buy, yet, ANOTHER complete software package? Or
is there some way that I can install this software that I already have?

Its not neccessary to install the old app prior to installing the update
app.

What exactly is meant by 'some aspects dont work'?

I can install the 2000 update, but it does not install, for instance,
"Publisher". It also seems to limit some of things that I used to do within
an application.

If you modify the installation are you able to select Publisher and set it
to run from PC?

Certain Office 2k components are, I recollect, only installed on First Use,
also certain items you have to implicitly install.
As I recollect running a standard installation doesnt neccessarily install
all

Did you do a "full" install of Office 2000 using the custom install or did
you stick in the CD and allow it to install using the defaults?
