Word and Win98SE
I work in an office with three networked Windows 98SE computers. Is there a
way to obtain a version of Word that's still Win98SE and network compatible? If so, how? TIA |

Word and Win98SE
Hi Tim
The latest version of Word is Word 2003. It requires Microsoft Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 (SP3), Windows XP, or later. You can't go and buy a copy of Word 2000 or earlier in a retail store. You may be able to buy an old copy second hand, but you would need to check carefully that you are buying software that you may use legitimately. As far as I know, the ability to "downgrade" to an earlier version of the product depends on your business having a Volume Licensing arrangement with Microsoft. I suggest you ask your IT department or, failing them, the people from whom your business buys its software licences. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

Hi Shauna,
Some high-volume retailers are still selling Office 2000, which includes Word 2000. Depending on where you go, you might also still be able to get Word 2000 as a stand-alone app, or with Works.

I just learned that Works Suite 2005 includes Word 2002 (which should be Win98SE compatible) but the system requirements for the Works Suite include a 700MHz P3. One of the office PCs has a 450MHz P3. Do you know if Word 2002 from Works Suite could still run on it? I'm hoping it's a different application from the suite that requires the 700MHz P3. Also is the Works Suite version of Word network compatible (can documents be sent to a network printer?) Thanks again. |

I live in the US. |
