You posted an incomplete err msg with regard your installation of Office
2007
When I have clean installed Office 2007, or upgraded an Office 2003
installation to 2007, I have not had any err's
I'll assume you have an Office 2007 cd

So, O.K., first, I did not mix versions. I uninstalled Office 2007 and I
installed Office XP.

But what do your suggest, how do I get the necessary files, the Proofing
files, so that Office 2007 will install properly? As I said, there is a
lot
of pain and grief over this, all over the internet, even people who bought
Office 2007.

I tried searching Microsoft, I tried searching the internet. Microsoft had
nothing that I could find. The internet provided all sorts of
indecipherable
torrent downloads which I would not touch. But, if I am to continue to use
Office, either XP or 2007, I need to somehow get it, all programs, to
work.

Any concrete help will be appreciated.

Should I uninstall Office 97 and start the installation of Office

Office 97 Where did that come into the picture. Your original post
mentioned Office 2007 and XP (containing Outlook 2002)

I would be quite happy with Office XP if Outlook 97 will install and
run properly.

Why would you want to mix versions like that? Besides, Outlook 97 cannot
be
used with many of today's ISPs because they require SMTP authentication
and
Outlook 97 cannot do that.
