Is there any reason why I cannot, or should not, uninstall the MS Works suite, and install the MS Office 97

None that I know of. I would uninstall works first. Since Word 2000 probably came with your Works Suite you should not do a full install of 97 on top of Works. Installing the older version of Word could cause you some problems. I don't remember if the option to install only parts of 97 is part of the setup routine (it is part of office2000) but if that option is available (probably under advanced or custom option) you could try installing only Excel. I tried doing this at one time and was constantly prompted by the program to insert my installation disk to install the function I was trying to use. If you're not sure exactly what parts of Office 97 you'll need in the future just go with the full install.

After the install make sure you take Office out of the startup group. Check your Startup folder in your program files menu for a shortcut there also. It is a big resource drag.
