Uhhh... Don't think that's totally correct.  I checked into it quite a
bit before I bought my academic version MS Word 4.0.  There are some
things you don't get with the academic version.  (Templates, some
documentation, etc.)  I still like my academic version just as much if
not better then the $250 package!  :-)  Just a little FYI.
