Hello Everybody!!

This is subramanyam once again. I am very impressed with this forum as I got one of my earlier issues resolved through this. Here I got an other problem. I have installed Windows 98 se and Windows XP on the same computer...ie dual boot. I have installed Office 2000 in Windows XP and want to access the office 2000 application in Windows 98 without installing again in Windows 98
Is there any way to do it? I hope to find a favorable answer.

Thank you all!!

Subramanyam

if you installed Win 98 as a FAT32 partition and Win XP at FAT32 you should be able to use the file from both partitions if you have installed office on both partitions.
if you installed Win XP as NTFS parttion Win 98 will not see the Win XP partition

try OpenOffice (www.openoffice.org)
it opens and saves Ms Office files.

the new beta Open Office also will open Lotus speedsheets and WordPerfect files

I use OpenOffice to open bad MS Office files that will not open in MS Office and save them as MS Office file so that MS Office can use them again

Good Luck
