Is Office 97 supported by Windows XP in terms of the patches?

[Sonnet]

I just bought a machine that has XP as the OS. Has anyone installed Office 97
and all its patches in this platform? If so, what was your experience. I'm
currently installing the 56 patches for the OS that Windows update suggests.
All of my doc files are in O97 but if XP is going to complain a lot I'll
consider updating to O2006.

I don't have it installed on Windows XP any longer but it worked fine when I
did.

Office '97 with SP2b works just as good in a fully patched XP as it did
under Win 98 (with fewer crashes because of the OS.) You should have
absolutely no problem installing or running Office '97.

Run Office '97 SBE on one system and Pro on three others with a mix of XP
Home and Pro.

I didn't have any problems installing or running Office 97 on Windows XP so
I'm not sure why this is a reply to me???
