Office 97 Upgrade   

Hello everyone,

Upgrade, (know software is a little old), PC says does not recognize a 
qualifying product on my new system, it worked ok on my old Dell; Microsoft 
website says this upgrade may not work with Works 2001, if not, contact 
technical support, what is up? and/or can I still use the upgrade?

Re: Office 97 Upgrade   

You can't use an newer program as the qualifying product for an older 
program.

This will tell you what you need to know:
