Perhaps those pre-2000 versions did not require activation after
installation... I don't have anything that old to try.
Office XP and Office 2003 both did, and can no longer be activated.

Hmmmmmm. I must be doing something wrong. I bought a Gateway 8.1 computer
in August 2013. Installed Microsoft Office 97 Professional. Fifteen months
later it still launches and works fine.

The problem he will run into with an older version of Microsoft Office is
that, although it might be able to run in Compatibility Mode, it is
unsupported by Microsoft and he will not be able to *activate* it after
installing it under Win 7 or 8, so it will "expire" after a limited
number
of launches. Ran into this at my office... although we had over 120
copies
of Office Basic 2003 that came with the XP computers we had to replace
(medical clinic: XP is not HIPAA compliant now that it's unsupported),
they
can't be activated on the new Win 7 computers, so we have to buy new
versions for all those machines!
