I bought an old unopened version office95 years ago and now my son needs a
word processor on his pc. He doesn't have an internet connection so download
abiword or open office isn't a solution. I was wondering if I could load the
office 95 (or just word) on his xp machine ??
thanks

I think you mean Office 97? Wasn't Office 95 Mac-only? Why not just have
a friend download OpenOffice for you and burn to cd?

Older versions of office work fine on XP. If he doesn't have internet access
than it won't prompt him for any updates :-)

Neither would OO, but whatever works - I was just making another
suggestion.

It'll install and work, although some of the bullets in Word have been
reported to be problematic. (They don't look quite right, from what I
understood.)

No, it was Office 98 that was designed exclusively for the MAC. And,
just for the trivially minded, the full, "proper" name for "Office 95"
was actually "Office for Windows 95."
