Summary: A MUST HAVE SOFTWARE in your MS Office collection!!
Comment: Several of my clients have lost their 'orange' numbers, ruined their current CDs, refused to take care of them, scratched them, or they just lost them. This is the best way to help someone rebuild their Microsoft CD collection from the bottom up.

Once you buy this, you can then start buying, again, the upgrades to Microsoft's Office Professional's software. Especially since Access, the database, has become soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo HOT!!

You need the database,(Access) when you buy any Office upgrade, you will pay the upgrade price and you should look for the Office version with Access in it, not the Standard version, but the Professional version.

You can still use this software and it will get you out of a tight spot until you get your computer back from the IT guy or the computer repair shop!!

Summary: Great product and can be a great value
Comment: Although Office 97 Professional lacks some of the bells and whistles of later versions it is a complete and robust suite that will suit the needs of anyone who doesn't need the absolute latest software. It doesn't seem to support web-based email like Yahoo!, but for the price and compatibility Office 97 Professional is a very good choice.

Summary: Make sure Office Product XP Compatible Version
Comment: I bought this and discovered what Walter did, but I used the CD key on newer version of Office and it worked.

Apparently, after XP was released Microsoft released an updated version of Office. I compared the disks and I noticed a code SR-1 on the updated version.

I recommend if possible inquiring with seller about XP compatibility, otherwise you may be taking a gamble.

Comment: This is a good program, it has all the basics needed for an average user. Easy to use and learn, even for the most novice user. Installing over XP may require several restarts of the set up program, however.

Summary: Microsoft Office 97 Professional Review
Comment: This product works well for me. First I had to obtain a good copy. I purcahsed one from a vendor for $23, thinking I made a good deal. After receiving it, it would not work! The vendor also refused to take it back! I then purchased one for $35 & it worked well. I would simply tell others, if the price sounds too good to be true, chances are there is a problem! I use Excel and Word on a daily basis with my job. I know some people want the latest releases, but I simply can not see why I would spend $200 for Office 2003 when I get get this for $35 & it works the same! So I would recommend to anyone, buy one of these and save a fortune. Do not buy a cheap $23 one becasue of my experience, but the mid-priced versions work & I could not be happier.
