SUMMARY
This article contains a list of the system requirements for Microsoft Office 97, Developer Edition.



MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Office 97, Developer Edition combines the developers kits for the Office programs into one all-inclusive kit. Office programs no longer have separate developers kits as do earlier versions of Microsoft Office. The reason for this is that each Microsoft Office program shares a common programming language, Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications. To use the Microsoft Office 97 Developer Edition, you need:
 * Personal or multimedia computer with a 486 or higher processor


 * Microsoft Windows 95 operating system or Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.51 with Service Pack 5 or later (will not run on earlier versions)


 * For use on Windows 95: 8 megabytes (MB) of random access memory (RAM) required to run programs individually (12 MB required to run Microsoft Access); more memory may be required to run additional programs simultaneously


 * For use on Windows NT Workstation: 16 MB of RAM required to run programs individually; more memory may be required to run programs simultaneously


 * 92-210 MB of available hard disk space required; approximately 140 MB required for a typical installation, depending on configuration. Use the Office Upgrade Wizard during setup to maximize free disk space.


 * CD-ROM drive


 * VGA or higher-resolution video adapter (Super VGA, 256-color recommended)


 * Microsoft Mouse, Microsoft Intellimouse, or compatible pointing device Additional items or services required to use certain features:


 * 9600 or higher baud modem (14.4 baud recommended)


 * Multimedia computer required to use sound and other multimedia effects


 * Microsoft Mail, Microsoft Exchange, Internet SMTP/POP3, or other MAPI- compliant messaging software required to use e-mail


 * The "Publish to the Web" feature in Microsoft Access requires Microsoft Internet Information Server for Windows NT or Microsoft Personal Web Server for Windows 95.


 * Microsoft Exchange Server required for certain advanced workgroup functionality in Microsoft Outlook


 * Some Internet functionality may require Internet access and payment of a separate fee to a service provider.
