Can somebody please advise the features differences between Office 97
and Office 2000?

Also, is it possible to load Office 2000 on a computer running Windows
98?

Thanks.

If you have Office2000, you can ask the Office Assistant "What's new?" in
any application.

Runs fine on my machine!

Greetings,

Office 2000 differs from Office 97 in at least the following ways:

1. Office 2000 was a significant rewrite for MSFT, allowing just about every
language version of Office to be based on the same code base.

2. VBA in Office 2000 is based on VBA 6, which has advantages of the VBA 5
used in Office 97.

3. Office 2000 has added functionality, some/all of which is described at
the MSFT web site and Office 2000 Resource Kit.

4. Office 2000 appears to be more reliable than Office 97.

Office 2000 works fine under Windows 98 (to the extent that anything works
under Win98, that is...). For a comparison of features, take a look here:
