- Word 4.0 will work with System 7 just fine. If you have a version lower
- than Word 4.0d, you need to dig up an INIT on an ftp site somewhere that
- allows TrueType fonts to format correctly. If you 4.0d, you don't need the
- INIT.

- Actually, Microsoft just released a relatively major upgrade to 5.0; 5.1
- has an improved table feature, and several new plug-in modules, including
- a Toolbar (though not as great as the one for Excel 4.0) and a Quicktime PIM.
