How to Download and Install Service Release 2 for Office 97

To determine which Service Release (if any) is installed on your computer:
  1. start any Office 97 application
  2. click on the help menu
  3. select the "About..." option
  4. the service release version is listed below or to the right of the software version (i.e. Word 97 SR-2)
If you already have SR-2, then all of your Office 97 applications should be fully Y2K compliant. You should still check your work files for inappropriate or ambiguous use of two-digit years.
If you have SR-1 installed you will need to download and run the SR-2 installer. If you have no service release installed then you will first need to download and run the SR-1 installer. Instructions for these operations are available at Microsoft's Office 97 Service Release 2 download site.
