Office 97 does work with Windows XP, but some users report problems
installing Office 97 when Service Pack 2 for Windows XP is installed. There are two ways around this problem: 1. You could uninstall WinXP SP2, install Office 97 and related service packs, and reinstall WinXP SP2. 2. You could leave WinXP SP2 intact and do a custom installation of Office 97 in which you set the Web Authoring Tools (HTML) to "not available" in the setup options. TeresaG wrote: |

Garfield-n-Odie,
I actually tried your first suggested solution to this problem, but did not get the Web Authoring Tools in Word 97 to function properly. I noted that you said that some people running WinXP sp2 were having this problem. Can you steer me in the direction of these people, or where you heard this, so I can see what they might have done to solve this malfunction? Do you have any idea if this a Windows File Protection system gone awry? Thanks. LuDean "garfield-n-odie" wrote in message ...

Several of the Web Authoring Tools will be "broken" when you apply
Service Pack 2 for Windows XP. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=886299 "'Application is not available' error messages when you try to insert some Web Tools in Word 2002 and Word 2003" for more information.

I guess it appears that this is not a Windows File Protection system issue
at all... but rather one of internet security. But I can be reasonably sure that this problem did not crop up in Win XP sp2 in the case of Word 97's web tools. When I rolled my system back to sp1, I was not able to get the web tools and updates to install, just as in sp2. So sp2 is not the culprit in and of itself. I noted that the KB article you listed does not relate directly to Word 97. This might be too much to hope for, but do you know of any info directly relating to Word 97? Thanks.

Microsoft extended support for Office 97 ended in January 2004, so there
probably won't be any more articles written for/about Office 97. In your first post, you said "did not get the Web Authoring Tools in Word 97 to function properly", which implies that the web tools were installed but do not function as expected. Now you say "not able to get the web tools and updates to install". Make up your mind... what is the problem? I can't see your computer screen from here. You will have to do a MUCH better job of describing what problems you're having. If you get error messages during installation or updating, quote them EXACTLY and COMPLETELY.
