MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft Office 97, Developer Edition combines the developers kits for the Office programs into one all-inclusive kit. Office programs no longer have separate developers kits as do earlier versions of Microsoft Office. The reason for this is that each Microsoft Office program shares a common programming language, Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications. To use the Microsoft Office 97 Developer Edition, you need:
  • Personal or multimedia computer with a 486 or higher processor

  • Microsoft Windows 95 operating system or Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.51 with Service Pack 5 or later (will not run on earlier versions)

  • For use on Windows 95: 8 megabytes (MB) of random access memory (RAM) required to run programs individually (12 MB required to run Microsoft Access); more memory may be required to run additional programs simultaneously

  • For use on Windows NT Workstation: 16 MB of RAM required to run programs individually; more memory may be required to run programs simultaneously

  • 92-210 MB of available hard disk space required; approximately 140 MB required for a typical installation, depending on configuration. Use the Office Upgrade Wizard during setup to maximize free disk space.
