SUMMARY

This article lists and describes the service releases and patches for Microsoft Office 97.

MORE INFORMATION

To determine which version of each Microsoft Office program (application) you are running, use any of the following methods, and then locate the version number in the "Versions of <Application> 97" table later in this article. The program (application) names for Office 97 are Excel.exe, Winword.exe, Powerpnt.exe, Outlook.exe, and Msaccess.exe.

Method 1: Use the "About Microsoft <Application>" Command

Click About Microsoft <Application> on the Help menu in Microsoft <Application> (where <Application> is the name of the Microsoft Office program (application) that you are running). Note the version number listed in the dialog box.

Method 2: Identify the <Application>.exe File

To determine the version number from your <Application>.exe file, do the following:

  1. Use Microsoft Windows Explorer to locate the <Application>.exe file.

    The default location for this file is the following folder:

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office

    NOTE: If you are running Microsoft <Application> 97 from a network server, <Application>.exe is located on the network server.
  2. Right-click the <Application>.exe file. On the shortcut menu that appears, click Properties.
  3. On the Version tab, note the File version property.

Method 3: Use Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications

In Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, you can also determine which version of Microsoft <Application> you have installed by checking the value returned by Application.Build or Application.Version in a Visual Basic for Applications macro.

NOTE: Outlook 97 does not have Visual Basic for Applications but does use Visual Basic Scripting. In the Visual Basic Scripting environment, a form that includes the following code

Sub Item_Open
   msgbox  item.outlookinternalversion
End Sub
                

returns the internal version when the form is opened.
