Yup - I've installed at various times Word6.0a, Office 4.2, Office Pro 
4.3 (Both of which contain Word 6.0). Umm if you haven't got the upgrade 
for the PC Card software you might have disk problems as they are in the 
MDF (I think - the 1.8Mb ones) format. Meaning that whilst Risc-OS will 
read them the PC Card software won't. If you don't have FTP access to 
ftp.acorn.co.uk - you can always use the route which I orignally did - by 
copying the disks to your PC card partition on your Hard Disc (using 
RISC-OS) and then editing one of the files on the first disk so it point 
to your hard disc partition.

If you can't copy the discs within RISC-OS I would suggest there is some 
problems with them. 

Dave.
