We have upgraded from Office '97 to Office XP and I would like to know how to convert all my old word and excel files so XP will recognize them.

Pete - I don't think you need to convert anything. I can open/modify all my Office '97 files in XP with no problem. The file formats have not changed since Office 97. When you save after opening and/or modifying the file will be saved with any necessary convertions, but these are not normally needed unless you open files from applications other than OFFICE.
