HELP!!!! PLEASE kim 6/15/2007 7:59:01 PM My windows crashed and I had to reinstall it. When I did this I lost office 97. It is still in the hard drive and I can access it but when I save it and try to re-open it, I get a message that tells me it cant find the file and i need to use the start up disk. The problem is that I don't have the start=up disk. What do I do?

Re: HELP!!!! PLEASE "Susan Ramlet" <susan[ at ]mvps-dot-org> 6/19/2007 5:14:08 PM Hi, Kim, If you no longer have the CD to install Office 97, you probably are out of luck, as Office 97 is no longer available in retail channels or as a replacement from Microsoft. If you do have a CD for Office 97, then re-install it. -- -- Susan Ramlet MVP - Office Please reply to the newsgroup. I cannot respond to private requests for help.

Note to the OP and to you, Office 97 is available from Amazon.com and from Ebay so there's still options available. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://blinkynet.net/comp/uip5.html
