Office 98 and XP . . .

Postby Dickerson » Thu 08 May, 2003 7:55 pm

I purchased Office 98 Small Business a few years ago, and just got myself a new Compaq Notebook that runs Windows XP OS. Can I load Office 98 on it, or will it destroy the whole thing?

Thanks . . .

Office 98 was a Macintosh release, that'd not work on a Compaq notebook! If you are referring to Office 97 however, sure.. that'd work fine in Windows XP :)

You are correct, of course. I looked at the case, again, and it is '97.

Thanks for the info, I did not really want to go spend $400 for Office XP.
