Installation Questions on Office 97 Standard

I had a couple problems trying to install the Office 97 Standards edition from CD-ROM

1) I was waiting while the Crossover program showed "Installing" I had a popup window with the Microsoft Installer open in it. It wasn't clear if I was supposed to wait around or use the MS wizard to install stuff
2) The installer was using C:Program Files for the program, but it kept trying to install truetype fonts in a Z:<can't remember the path> drive that didn't exist, so I got about a dozen errors in the install.
3) When the installer was done, Crossover didn't seem to know what was happening. It kind of sat there. I clicked the Force Completion button and that got things going.

The applications seem to work. I am not sure about the fonts or what to expect. I see some Apple fonts available in word. I don't see the typical Windows TrueType fonts though.
