Within a day of installing Office 98, I phoned MS to find how to get the
documents in Word to open fully as in Word 6.x on the Mac. MS support
told me that it was not possible to open documents full screen because
of the way the OS8.x handled windows. This explanation was somewhat
confusing for me since Word 6.x opened docs full screen using OS8.x.
If you do find out how to do this, then pls let me know. I have gotten
used to dragging each window to create a full screen.
