If your Using Tiger, really you should not be relying on Classic to run
office
realistically Office 2004 should be on your buy list if it is a suite
that you depend/rely on
as neither OS9 or office 98 are supported by there respective
manufacturers any longer i would suggest purchasing a new version of
office
at some stage we have to bite the bullet and upgrade certain parts of
the technology we use in order to take full advantage of the rest of
our technology

That is not such a smart move for some people. It is more complicated
than the earlier versions.
There are possibly 2 problems shown below :
Word 98 will be using Classic printing which is different Printer access
to OSX printing.
Can be a real can of worms !
Excel :
Should not start up unless you have Classic preferences set to
Start Classic on boot up.
and then should not start up unless you call for a relevant file to
open.
Reinstalling Office will not necessarily remove your old preferences .
I assume Tiger is like Panther , in that you have on the Hard Drive a
"System Folder "
With Classic inactive
Go into that , find Preferences , look for excel preferences and trash
them.
restart classic and see what you have

Dear wamuggers
Since upgrading to Tiger I have two problems with Office 98 in Classic:
- Excel 98 insists on starting up each time I boot the computer (It is
not listed in OS9 start up items).
- Word 98 freezes every time I print and has to be 'force quitted'.
I have tried reinstalling Office 98 from scratch and running all
updaters available on the Microsoft site.
I am now up to OS X 10.4.2 and both problems still exist.
Anybody have any thoughts?
