the main differences in the office suite of MS Office97 and MS OfficeXP

Basically the standard differences between different software revisions.
1) Cost, obviously XP is going to be more expensive
2) Support: Microsoft doesn't support Office97 and thus does not release updates for it anymore. This means it is less secure!
3) Features: 97 does not have nearly as many features as XP does, and since its not supported anymore, probably never will.
Hope that helps you with your decision!

Can't give you the exact differences, but I currently work in Office 97, 2000, and 2003. I am able to do what I want and need in Office 97 and have to learn a new way of doing the same thing in a later program.
They continually add bells and whistles and assign commands to macros to things we have already learned to do. Personally, I find the upgrades a pain, especially when I have to switch computers and have to rearrange graphics or create two versions of the same document to accommodate the different versions -- but this is just me. You may want a capability you do not have in Office 97.

More features, but that is about it. They pretty much do the same thing, but the newer versions have easier ways of doing it.
