Word 97 in Windows XP to maintain formatting
Can I install Word 97 in Windows XP? I have Office 2003 with Word 2003
already installed. However, I have many 97 documents that, when opened on 2003, line spacing and text formatting is sufficiently changed to cause many, many problems. These are student workbooks with font sizes of 12 and 14 points. Words on a line flow to the next line causing paragraph/page overflow. Sometimes a word actually fits on the line above. These documents contain a lot of formulas and programming code examples so formatting and spacing is very precise and critical. Even text forming formulas and program code in a table may overflow resulting in misalignment of lines that must be precisely aligned. I have tried every option I can think of including all compatibility options as Word 6.0, 97 and 2003, with printer metrics turned on and off. The only fixes I have come up with are doing things like reducing font size by .5 point, setting paragraph right indent by even as little as negative .05 inches. But I would have to do this line by line or paragraph by paragraph. I spent nearly a week just finding (But not yet correcting) problems in ten documents. I am considering installing Word 97 to solve this problem (although I am not sure it will). What conflicts will I encounter? Can I keep 2003 and 97? Is there any other way to "freeze" spacing? |
