I had to reformat my hard drive and now am having a problem reinstalling office 2000. It is an upgrade version, however, my old version of Office 97 has a corrupt file and will not let me reinstall it. Is there anyway to install the upgrade withoutthe prior version.

Have not found a workaround,you will need the previous version before the upgrade will work
The upgrade is programmed to look for the previous version

You normally don't have to install the old version. The upgrade will ask for the installation disk, read it and then you swap CD?s and proceed with the setup.
