     I bought the Academic version of Word 4.0 here at Dartmouth.  Pretty
cheap, and fully functional.  It was missing a few of the supporting
materials found in the commercial version, I think.  For instance, the mail-
in card to get the printer driver for non-Apple printers is missing from
the Academic version.  If you call Microsoft tech support, however, they
will send you the driver for a nominal fee.  It does come with AutoMac III
and the Word Finder thesaurus, and the program is fully functional.

     Now that you know the package exists, I suppose you have to bug your
dealer to try to get it for you.
