Depends on the Office version
and what version of IE it installs. I usually ran Office 2000 with SP2 very well with 98, very few crashes if any. Only major problem I've had is the networking issue of Microsoft Client Network shares.
Still time for a reformat. I got 98 and XP on the same drive, which I am told is a No-No.
