I have a copy of Word 5.0 on floppy disks. How/where can I get the updates to go to 5.1a? M$ had removed the upgrade files from their web site by the time I bought my copy (in 1996). I have found a lot of references on the 'net to the existence of upgrades, but I have never found the files for updating. Can anyone help? Thanks.
