Office 97 is not compatible so don't try installing _any_ part of it.
You could use Open Office, it's free. Use Google to search for it.
If you need Word and/or Excel viewers they are available for a free
download at Microsoft's website.
Office 2007 Home & Student can be obtained online at reasonable
prices...check eBay, Amazon etc.
That comes with Excel, Powerpoint, OneNote and Word plus various tools.

I had no problems installing Office 97 on either computer I have, using Vista Home Premium. It is working great, even including Outlook in the install.

But another promising free office suite is 5th Element, http://ssuite5element.webs.com/thefifthelement.htm
