reinstalling office 97 pro edition

[milcity]

i recently ran the recovery and format disk on my computer. Essentially wiping out most of my software programs. I am now trying to reload Office 97 pro edition. I discovered that this cd is an update version and without any related office products it would not load. I then began looking for my original Office 95 version and attempted to load that. Again, the message was that I needed some related microsoft or office product to load my copy of office 95. Is there any way around this

I am suffering through the same problem except that I never discarded my earlier version of office 95. microsoft has a knowledge base article #158069 that shows the qualifing software that you need to have but it does not provide any solutions for our problems.
