Anybody here ever used Microsoft Word 6.0 (1993) for Mac or Windows? It came with awesome macro capabilities.
I am currently using Word 6.0 on an older Powerbook G4 (17" 1.67 GHz) to process a gigantic 4,000 page document with the assistance of macros.
I have a problem, though: That Powerbook is the last Macintosh computer ever produced that will work with Word 6.0. It won't work on any Apple computer with an Intel processor.
So I was thinking the other day...I wonder if the old Microsoft Word 6.0 Windows version (DOS, I believe) is compatible with Intel processors. If so, and I could get a hold of that Windows version of Word 6.0, I'd be able to upgrade to either a new Apple computer or a new PC for my word processing work.
Anybody know how that works? And if not, does anyone know of a good Mac forum for discussion of topics related to older Mac computers?
