 * Notes:
   * DL #1:
Full install disk set. Install disk 1 has been previously personalized
?disks were Finder modified in 2002.

   * DL #5:
The installer says Word 5.1 rather than 5.1a, but after installing,
the Word about box shows 5.1a is installed. Also, the Install disk has
to be unlocked when you install so the installer can personalize the
install disk with a name and company details. This uploaded is fresh
from the box and not already personalized.

   * DL #6:
Install disk 1 must be unlocked when you install Word 5.1a so the
installer can personalize the install disk. This set includes an
additional unlocked disk as a back-up image for this purpose.

   * DL #8:
Requires personalization but is very quick and easy to install. This
copy does not require a writable disk to personalize nor does it
require any disk swapping.

   * DL #10:
This will allow you to open documents saved in Word 97-98 format (e.g.
