Get in touch with Sun Remarketing and request a catalog.  This will give
you a good overview of the current Lisa world.  They advertise a program
called MacWorks XL, which makes your Lisa act like a Mac Plus.  This might
allow the current version of Word to run.

>B) What is the latest version of word for a 64k ROM.

If Word is a no-go, try WriteNow.  They claim it will run on a 128K mac,
so you have chance of making it work on a Lisa.
