As an aside to people thinking of using Word 6 for Windoze 3.1, BEWARE!
If you want to use the master document feature, or embed pictures or
equations, make sure you have at least 12 Meg of free RAM for Windows
or preferably more, as it's extremely unreliable with any less, even on
a real PC. I've lost countless hours of work and have now converted to
LaTeX, which comes in a native Acorn version, and is reliable. If you must
use it with less, don't use background printing, don't do quick save, and
save your work before you attempt to print, as it might not let you
afterwards!
