Sorry, you can't run Office'97 (or similar Win'95/98/NT apps) under FreeBSD as of yet... There are emulators (of which 'bochs' and 'wine' spring to mind) that will for the most attempt to run either Windows '95 or it's applications, but they are by no means finished/stable yet... You can however have a 'dual-boot' system that when you boot your machine will give you the option of running FreeBSD, or Windows '95/98 or NT at startup time - We use this here on a few machines, and it works fine...
