MS Word - what is latest version?

[Joe727]

Hi - I have Word 2000 which came packaged with Works 6. I am thinking about
upgrading to Works 2006. It appears that Word 2002 is the latest version to
be packaged with Works 6.

Question: Is Word 2002 the latest version of Word, or is there a newer
version?

I understand that a new version of Word will be released in 2007.

Thanks

Joe

Word 2003 is the latest version. Incidentally the Word that is packaged with
Works is not actually the same as the one in Microsoft Office.

2003 is the latest but Works Suite now uses the "next to latest" version.
Yes, there will be a new version next year ... but I'm going to wait for a
little while. I don't have the patience to deal with learning how to deal
with the new interface plus any program issues that will occur.

What is different? I've used Word 2000 that comes with Office and it
doesn't look any different than Word 2000 that came with Works.

It's the same.
what is different is the version, not the features.

Thanks, I thought so. The statement that they're different is from a CDO
posting noob

They're not ALL noobs - some do it because they are behind a corporate

Then those noobs who don't know what they are talking about shouldn't be
posting on non-business-related newsgroups when they are on the company
clock.
