I'm guessing neither one will support?

Office 97 will work, but you may be missing CSAPI3T1.DLL in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PROOF

You can expand it from CSAPI3T1.DL_ in the \i386 directory on your WinXP CD.
Go to Start | Run and type this command:

expand x:\i386\CSAPI3T1.DL_  C:\CSAPI3T1.DLL

Where X: is your CD drive. Then move it from the root directory of C: to the PROOF folder. Some people also have to put it in the Outlook Express program folder.
