I have been using 10.2 and Office 2001 without any problems. It can be run booted in OS9 (obviously), but it has worked very well in Classic. Only Office X runs natively in 10.2, so any other version would be in classic or in 9. Unfortunately, I do not know if Office 98 will present any problems with 10.2.
