You cannot upgrade from 97 to 2003. If you have 97, you must purchase the
FULL Product not the upgrade. You must also be running Windows 2000 or XP.

It would appear from
http://www.microsoft.com/office/editions/howtobuy/professional.mspx#XSLTsect
ion127121120120 that Office 97 is eligible for upgrade to Office 2003. And
http://www.microsoft.com/nz/officesystem/buyit/word.aspx implies the same
thing for Word 97/2003.

Kevin,
When you install Office 11 and you do a custom install, the installer
will ask you which Office application you want to upgrade. You can
just check off those applications you want to keep and select only
Word 2003.
Good luck.

OMG. Microsoft have moved the goalposts again!!!!!
We had a half-day presentation BY MICROSOFT licensing team who categorically
stated that Office may only be upgraded over 2 versions - that is Off 97 to
Off XP or Off 2000 to Off 2003: they were explicit that OFF 97 could not be
upgraded to Off 2003. We even persuaded some of our customers to upgrade
Office 97 to Office XP before they were locked in with no upgrade path.
The documents you linked refute this. It must be the same as the Windows 98
change!
