The only issue is when you have XP properly configured so that the 
primary logon is a user account and not an administrative account 
(anyone who doesn't do this is being very, very foolish) -- the 
default user group permissions won't allow the spell checker to run. 
There is a Knowledge Base article on this, with a solution that 
involves setting security on certain registry keys to allow the user 
group to read/change those settings. I've had to do this with a 
number of installations of Word97 on Win2K.

If you run as an administrative user, though, it won't be a problem 
for Word97.

But you will certainly be opening yourself up to a whole host of 
other problems.
