Office 97 does work with Windows XP, but some users report problems
installing Office 97 when Service Pack 2 for Windows XP is installed.
There are two ways around this problem:
1. You could uninstall WinXP SP2, install Office 97 and related service
packs, and reinstall WinXP SP2.
2. You could leave WinXP SP2 intact and do a custom installation of
Office 97 in which you set the Web Authoring Tools to "not available" in
the setup options.

Or try the registry hack suggested by Bob Buckland, it works for some
and not for others (I'm one of the "others", <sigh>), I don't know why?

MS Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) disabled the
HTMLMarq.ocx (active x control) for security reasons.

If you're not going to use the web page features you
can do a custom install and choose to not install the
Web Authoring tools or use the following technique
(not a MS supported one)

to modify both .ocx files whose names start with HTMLm
in this registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image
File Execution Options

from .ocx to .old
