I have a PC with Win98Se OS and Office 2000 Std installed.
If I purchased a PC with WinXP Pro but did not have Office installed:
Q:
1.Can I use the WinXP Pro Remote Desktop feature to access all my data and use the Office application of the PC with Win98 & Office through my local intranet (not Internet)?

But the WinXP Pro brochure & tecch guy from Microsoft told me that I can use Win XP Pro to access all my data & applications on my Win98Se PC with this Remote Desktop feature, but then they state through the Internet.
My Actual question is can this be done through my LAN as well? But the WinXP Pro brochure & tech guy from Microsoft told me that I can use Win XP Pro to access all my data & applications on my Win98Se PC with this Remote Desktop feature, but then they state through the Internet.
My Actual question is can this be done through my LAN as well?

You are mis-understanding the brochure and the Microsoft Tech (or he is misinformed). You can only access a computer running XP Pro (set up as the HOST) FROM another machine. The XP Pro machine MUST be set up as the HOST. The answer is still NO.
Here is a how-to from Microsoft that should make you see the difference.
