Yeah, it should run just fine on XP.
In fact, I still use Office 97 (when I'm not using openoffice that is).

Office 97 starts up instantly, and isn't padded with extra features, that's why I like it.

No problems running Office 97 with XP Pro. Make sure you have the Office 97 upgrades, SP1 and SP2. I think they're still available from Microsoft.
