* Some versions of Microsoft®
Works include Microsoft®
Word; others do not. Microsoft® WORD (not Works) is
required to run Writer's Workbench. To determine if you have
Microsoft® Word loaded on your computer, click Start, Programs, and click
on the icon and entry for Microsoft Word. If Word opens, your
system should be fine to run Writer's Workbench. If you cannot find
the entry for Microsoft Word, you will need to purchase Microsoft Word to
be able to use Writer's Workbench. Microsoft® Word is included in all
current versions of Microsoft® Office. ** Later versions of Microsoft®
Windows and Word require more memory and processing power. For
example, if you are using Word '97 on a computer running Windows '95 or
Windows '98, you can probably get by with a 100 MHz system with 64 MB of
RAM. If you are using Word 2000 on a Windows 2000 system, a minimum
requirement would be a 200 MHz system with 64 MB of RAM, but 128 MB of RAM
is recommended. If you are using Word XP on a Windows XP system, a
300 MHz system with 128MB of RAM would run, but 256 MB of RAM is
recommended. Please see Microsoft's requirements pages for details. Before you install the Writer's
Workbench software, please print the
manual and follow the Installation
Instructions in that manual. Then, after entering Microsoft®
Word, please follow the Instructions
for Becoming Acquainted with Writer’s
Workbench in Word.
These instructions
provide a "quick start" for using Writer's Workbench and generally
take 10-15 minutes to complete. If you have any problems with installing, using,
or removing Writer's Workbench, please ask your system administrator for
help; or send email to
