Do you want office97 on your pc anymore?

If not, I think I would uninstall office XP, uninstall office 97 and then
reinstall office xp.

If you want both installed...

If you're starting excel by double clicking on a .xls file (say in windows
explorer), then I bet Gord's suggestion will work nicely for you.

But if you're starting excel by doubleclicking a shortcut to excel, make sure
that shortcut points to the correct excel.exe (xl2002 version) (check the
complete path in the shortcut).

A few years ago I upgraded from Office 97 to Office XP. I raely use Excel and
when I open it, it shows as Office 97. My other Office applications all seem
to be OK. Why didn't Excel upgrade and how can I correct?
