URGENT old old version of Office....(4.2?)

[Ronda]

I want to upgrade my very old version of Office 4.2 to
Office 97. Will that work or do I need to buy the full
version of 97? It's for my son's laptop class at school
which is about to start in a few days.

Thank you anyone out there that can help me.

I doubt that you will find Office 97 in any flavor being sold anyplace
except eBay and I would not purchase a used program from the site.

Office 4.2 is not an upgrade path to Office 2000 or Office XP.

You can purchase Office Standard for students and teachers. You can get
more information at http://www.microsoft.com/office/howtobuy/choosing.asp

Office Standard does not have Microsoft Access as part of the package. Make
sure that your son will not need that application during his school work.
All other standard applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook are
included.

Good Luck.
