MS Word for Win98 SE?
[Please pardon the double post. It should have been
cross-posted, but I forgot to do that.] I'm running Win98 SE, but my most recent copy of Word is Word 6 (for Win3). So far, I've managed to deal with MS .DOC files with WordPad and other word processors, but now I need a genuine MS Word. Is it too late to buy such a thing? Looking at dealers, I see only late versions of Word and MS Office (I don't need the whole Office suite), which all seem to need Win XP and points north. I really don't like to change to a version of Windows that doesn't run on real DOS, but where could I buy a version of Word for my rig? -- R. N.

Look for a copy of Microsoft Works Suite and check the specifications on the package. It should say that it is compatible with Windows 98 SE. Microsoft Works Suite includes Microsoft Word as the Word Processing component, at least in the versions issued since 2001. And the price is generally cheaper than purchasing a standalone copy of Microsoft Word. Note that there is also a product called Microsoft Works (without the word Suite in the name). This does not include Microsoft Word. Good luck Ron Martell Duncan B.C.
