Microsoft Office Professional compatibility
I have purchased a new/licensed copy of Microsoft Office
Professional & Bookshelf Designed for Windows 95. I run Windows 98 however the seller assured me the product would be OK for 98. Whilst I am able to create new documents no problem I cannot open any existing Word, Excel, Access or Powerpoint files ?? Should this product operate on 98 ?? Peter |

Office 95 will work with Windows 98. I think the reason you can't open
existing Office documents is that they were created with Office 97 or newer version. Word 95 and Powerpoint 95 use a different file format than Word 97-up and Powerpoint 97-up, and that's probably true for Excel and Access too.
