I've found the following differences between Academic Word and regular
Word:

(1) The Academic version has a different label.
(2) Upgrades to the Academic version do NOT include manuals. When I
    updated 3.0 to 4.0, I got a coupon with the 4.0 package allowing me
    to get the manuals for $35.
(3) You can not upgrade an Academic version to a Full version.  Things
    were this way when I moved from 3.0 to 4.0.

Microsoft sales is probably the BEST source for current information.
