866.0. "How much disk space for Office 97?" by SPSEG::BRAMSON () Tue Mar 18 1997 14:08

    For those of you that have already installed Office 97 (professional),
    how much disk space (nominally) do I need? I will be upgrading from
    Office 95 (not a full installation but about 80% of the available
    features) and have about 40MB of space left on drive C. Will I be in a
    world of hurt?  Also, there is also the option of installing the suite
    on a drive different from C: , but others have warned me against doing
    this. Has anyone successfully installed to an alternate drive without
    any glitches? Thanks for any insight you can provide.
