Why does Lotus Notes 4.5.7 perform an illegal operations error when trying to detach an attachment to word 97, excel 97, or powerpoint 97?

I don't know much about notes, but you could try the registry. Check the following key.
HKLU/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/extensions Make sure that the extensions for the programs your trying to open are in there properly along with their paths.
Example: doc:REG_SZ:c:\progra~1\micros~1\office\winword.exe^.doc would be the value for an MSWord document. Good luck and be careful.

I encountered this exact issue with R4.5.7, We never found a work around....But upgrading Lotus Notes to R 4.6.3 did resolve the issue.
Hope this helps.
