Hi Richard,
The htmlmarq.ocx ActiveX control has been disabled by Windows XP in one of its updates, so it won't function. OCX files generally
aren't associated with an app by file extension.
The workaround on install problesm is modify both of the HTMLM...
..OCX files to .OLD in the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microosft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ImageFileExecutionOptions
In Word 6 thru Word 97 the Web page features (some of which were lost in later versions of Word) are managed by an Add-in, MS Word
Internet Assistant, renamed for Word97 to 'Web authoring tools'. There is an updated version of those tools (Wd97AU.exe) available
from
http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=bcd87655-7513-4330-b234-49b89706078d&DisplayLang=en.
Installing Office 2007 without the web tools choice using custom setup can often avoid one of the error messages you're getting.
What happens when you use the Web Page preview in Word97?
Do you have other Microsoft Office product versions listed in Add/Remove programs in the Windows control panel?
Also, keep in mind that with the older Acme setup.exe used by Office 97 that you have to reapply service packs when
installing/reinstalling. They're not automatically reapplied as they are starting with Office 2000's use of the MS Installer for
setup.

I've got WindowsXP SP2 and running WORD97 SP2 on it. I can save my text
documents as HTML, but there is a problem when I come to open up my
WORD-saved HTML document. I can open the HTML document, however there are
some few things I cannot do under the Table Menu. There is a section of
three things on the Table Menu that don't work: Table Properties; Cell
Properties and Borders... . They are *not* greyed-out by the way when I
highlght my table. The Web Page Preview does not work either.
There is an issue with installing WORD 97 on XP. When installing Office 97
Pro, you get the message: "htmlmarq.ocx was unable to register itself in the system registry." The apparant solution to this is to
go into registry and rename both htmlmarq.ocx & htmlmm.ocx. Okay, well I done that, then
reinstalled Office97 Pro. But when I open up my HTML document I still get
the message:" The windows registry has reported that one or more required
files are damaged or missing. to correct the problem run the Word setup
program."
I have both htmlmarq.ocx and htmlmm.ocx on my PC. htmlmm.ocx in File
Properties was associated with (Open With) Word97. htmlmarq.ocx was
originally as "Unknown Application", but I have set this file to be
associated with Word97 also. Just seemed the thing to do.
I have even undone the name changes made to htmlmarq.ocx and htmlmm.ocx in
the registry after installing Office97, but that has not changed anything.
The main thing for me is having the bility to change the borders of tables
in my HTML documents, but I cannot do that at present.
When I installed Office97 I installed everything.
Anyone know what's wrong or what I can do to psych out the problem? TIA. >>
