Service Packs
       One of the more common fixes for ANY errors you are having after Office 97 is installed is downloading and installing the two Service Release Patches. To check and see which service (if any) is installed on your system follow these steps:
  • Click Help
  • About <the application name. If it is Word, Click "About Microsoft Word", if it is Excel, click "About Micosoft Excel", etc...>
  • The First line of the next window will list the application <ie., Microsoft Word 97 SR-1, Microsoft Excel SR-2, Microsoft Outlook 97, etc. These are only examples just for illustration.>

If any of the application show SR-1 then you can skip to SR-2. If no Service Release Package is shown next to the Application name then I would suggest downloading and installing the Service Packs.

 In order for the SR Patches to work you MUST download and install the patches in order! If you do not have any SR Packs then download and install the patch listed below FIRST:
