[comp.sys.mac.apps] Word 4.00/System 7 compatability

strange@sprite.berkeley.edu (Steve Strange) (05/15/91)

The System 7 compatability checker claims that Word 4.00 is system 7
compatible, but when I run it on a IIsi, I get a System Error (CHK
error or some such).  Is a newer, compatible version available?
Should I send my disks in to Microsoft?

	Thanks,

	Steve

I have had no problems running Word on my IIsi with 5 megs of ram...(yet?)

If you don't have 4.00D, you should upgrade to that version.

Hope this helps,

If Word Finder is installed directly into Word using the Font/DA Mover,
it works fine under System 7.

It's a good way to avoid cluttering the Apple menu as well.
