Default How can I install Office 97 on Windows 2000 system?

I have Windows 2000 installed on my machine. I have a copy of Office 97
professional, and a lot of files saved on floppies using Office 97. Is there
a way to install it so it will work?

Just go ahead and install it. Office 97 should work fine on Win2K. Then move
the data files from the floppies. If you are asking how to move Office 97
from one machine to the other without doing an install, you are in for a
painful (and probably unsuccessful) process....

BTW, I hope you are looking into other backup/storage means than
floppies.....

Thanks, I've already installed it, but it doesn't work correctly. On Windows
98, it used to put links in the start menu. It doesn't in Windows 2000. In
the programs menu, instead of having a link to Office, there is a link to
Office Setup. Also, everytime I start Windows, my dialer pops up. I can't
seem to tell it not to do so.
