Milly,
Thank you for your suggestion. I found this link but is specifically stated
for use with Office 97 Standard and my version is Office 97 Professional. It
also states that it is to be used in conjuction with Windows NT 4.0, Windows
95 or Windows 98.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b158658#appliesto
The link you provided states that is is designed to be run AFTER you run the
Setup program for Office and click the Remove All to remove Office. I
haven't been able to be successful in getting the thing removed! Also, it
states to be used with Office 97 Standard Edition ~ but (if I could get the
Office 97 program removed), I could give it a try. I don't know what
differences there are between Office 97 Standard and Office 97
Professional......
I appreciate your suggestion!
I might try one more time to do an "Uninstall" of the Office 97 before
proceeding.
