After all the hatred that was directed at MS Word 6, Microsoft
returned to having a Mac-specific development team for Word, and the
result was Word 98. Though it requires PowerPC and is more bloated
than before, it packs a lot of features and can even emulate the user
interface for everybody's favorite prior Word version, 5.1a. Also, it
is file compatible with Microsoft's post-'97 versions of Word, across
platforms.
[From Wikipedia][2]:
> In 1997, Microsoft formed the Macintosh Business Unit as an
> independent group within Microsoft focused on writing software for
> Mac OS. Its first version of Word, Word 98, was released with Office
> 98 Macintosh Edition. Document compatibility reached parity with
> Word 97, and it included features from Word 97 for Windows,
> including spell and grammar checking with squiggles. Users could
> choose the menus and keyboard shortcuts to be similar to either Word
> 97 for Windows or Word 5 for Mac OS.

Minimum System Requirements for Microsoft Word 98:
* Any PowerPC processor-based, Mac OS-compatible system.
* Apple System 7.5 or later.
* 16 MB of RAM required to run Word individually (with virtual
memory
turned on); more memory is required to run additional programs
simultaneously.
* 24 MB of RAM required to run Word individually from a network or
from
the CD; more memory is required to run additional programs
simultaneously.

Runs on SheepShaver, although I find it to be unstable (crash-prone).
