howdy....
first off -- i'm a newbie also, you better seek advice from The Masters on using WINE.
i'm starting to learn my way around Linux but WINE is still foreign to me. also, as
i thought about it, i think i was wrong about having to have windows on your box to
use wine. i have Corel Photo for Linux, which uses WINE, and i installed it &
everything under Linux, so i think i might be totally wrong about that. as i say, you
must wait for The Masters to read your post & comment =) also you could check out
their internet site for documentation. it's winehq.com i think.... if that is not it
try an internet search.
second -- for no reason should you ever install windows on a computer unless you are
planning to throw it in the trash. =)
third -- how 'bout just use something else? i don't know exactly why you need office
97, but there are linux alternatives. there are a number of spreadsheet programs and
there is StarOffice (which i don't like much, but it works) and there is ApplixOffice
(which cost money but is somewhat better than StarOffice in my opinion). so if you
don't mind me asking -- tell us why you need office 97 & someone on the list may be
able to give you a better option. =)

i could be wrong (yea right *haha*) but i think you have to install Office
on a windoze drive, under windoze. WINE simply lets you run a Win program
under Linux.
but serious... i think that's it, but i really could be wrong
