I've come across a lot of Users who still cling to old versions of Word. I paid about 300 bucks for Office 95, and still use it with XP and have 95 Word on both Win 7 pcs. The Office other parts, Excel, etc. I wouldn't load in Win 7, as they don't work properly [my newer pc got Display problems with Office on the Desktop] and there are plenty of compatible freeware office suites.
I received a basic Office 2003 disk with an earlier, 32-bit Win 7 HP pc, and got the ready-installed Word 2010 with newer machines. I don't like being nagged at to buy or Upgrade, so I keep these newer progs in case I want to improve a 95 document with the increased font colours, etc.
There some important features missing when we Install this old Word version: Help, which installing Windows6.1-KB917607-x86.msu or Windows6.1-KB917607-x64.msu on Win 7 will facilitate, and PF7 generated Spell/Thesaurus.
Now, I don't know if anyone knows a better way to do this: but I looked for the file 95 said was missing when PF7 was pressed, mssp32.dll. I didn't have a clue where it would be in Win XP, so went searching. It was in C:\Program Files\Common Files|Microsoft Shared\Proof.
Win 7's PROOF seemed to have the same files, same size, different dates, but, maybe, they weren't going to work with 95. I copied them in, allowing 7 to Rename them (2).
So, it's all working now. Well, at least I'm still using MICROSOFT products in the main.
