Either should work. There is a complication with Office 97, but
fixable.

For Office/Word97 on WinXP, this seems to be the common cause:

Hi again Mike

Forgot to ask - would the proofing tools from office 2000 be better
than the
ones in Office 97 - should I install the ones from 97 over 2000 or
vice versa?

All responses gratefully received - please keep up the good work.

Regards

Many thanks for replying to my query - your answer as I have quoted
above
has totally answered my query, as this was exactly what I wanted to
know.

I am going to go ahead and use my previous copy of Office 2000
Premium and
install only the Proofing Tools from that CD. I will change the
settings on
Windows Update to ask me before installing any updates from Office
2000 and
then just say no/don't ask about this update again.

Having said that, could I not just use the spellchecker from Office
97
instead of the one from Office 2000? - will Office 97 still run on
Windows XP
or not?

All responses gratefully received - please keep up the good work.

spell checkers, including an Australian one that might be suitable.

Hi all

Just wanted to know if there is a free British/UK spellchecker
for
Outlook
Express available?

Does anyone out there know of one and where I can get hold of it,
please?

As I have got Office 2007 installed on my PC, I have read on the
Internet
that Office 2007 "breaks" the Spell check function in Outlook
Express? - is
this correct?

Otherwise, could I not use the Office 2007 British/UK spell-check
function
in Outlook Express? - if yes...how do I do so?

If not, where do I get a 3rd party solution?

Please let me know - all responses gratefully received.

Regards
