Suzanne replies:
And this a.m. I called Adobe and learned that they currently do not have any
plans to support Word 97. So anyone with Word 97 will have to keep their old
Word 95 around when they want to use a word processor first before loading

isn't clean, and isn't a true 95 or 6.0 version of Word.
