Hardly likely, so what wrong with using eg Office 2003 and saving docs in
the old format?

I tried to install Office 97 on my Windows-7 machine, but keep getting
error
messages and programs abruptly closing (e.g., when I try to print a Word
document). Is there a way to get Office 97 successfully installed on this
machine? I need to generate documents and send them to people whose
latest
version of Office is 97.
