Is word 97 (office 97) compatible with XP home?

I just installed office 97 onto my computer with XP and now the work art function no longer works. It worked fine with all other previous versions of windows. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the problem still persists. Any ideas or does anyone know if it is compatible with XP.

function no longer works. It worked fine with all other previous versions
of windows. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the problem
still persists. Any ideas or does anyone know if it is compatible with
XP.This would probably be better asked in the word.setup.networking
newsgroup. From what I know of how Word97 (doesn't) works under WinXP, the
first question I'd ask would be: are you logged in as Administrator? And
did you install as Adminstrator?

If the answer to either is "no", then that's probably the problem...
