I have a bunch of old files created with WINWORD 1997.
I would like to set the file association to use the 97
version when I click a *.doc file. No matter how many
times I try to set the association, it keeps demanding
that I install/initiate the 2007 version. What is the
dollar cost for using Word 2007 ? I have already paid
for Word 1997, and I am not interested (at this time)
in making more investments.

question
How to suppress word 2007 from demanding attention?
