MS Office 4.2 is too new to run.  The problem is that the latest
releases of MS products (Word 6, Excel 5, etc.) require OLE to be
running to work.  If OLE isn't running they fire up a sub-process to
make it go, but we don't yet support sub-processes.

Sorry, but Word 5 and Excel 4 run well.  I'm not sure that any
versions of PowerPoint run nicely, we only have the version that's too
new.
