= SUMMARY =

The version of Word currently being used can be found by choosing Options and pressing the ENTER key. This procedure generates a message in the message line that states the version of Word. Alternatively, the size of the WORD.EXE file can be examined to determine the version.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The sizes of the program files vary, depending upon the release of the product and whether the product was installed manually or by using the Setup program. If the product is installed using the Word Version 5.00 SETUP.EXE program, it will combine the WORD.EXE, WORD.OVL, and SPELL.OVL files to create a bound application capable of running under MS-DOS or OS/2. Alternatively, if WORD.EXE and WORD.OVL are copied to the new disk, the WORD.EXE will be smaller.

The following is a table of file sizes for the different releases of Word 5.00:

Original    Final (installed) WORD.EXE    WORD.EXE (bytes)     (bytes) - Word Version 5.00 220,364 622,428 Word Version 5.00a 217,147 620,140 Word Version 5.00b 217,888 626,831
