The Microsoft Word word processor was first introduced for MS-DOS in 1983. Its design made use of a mouse and WYSIWYG graphics. Its crude WYSIWYG/mouse support was a direct response to the Apple Lisa/Mac, and VisiCorp Visi On. Initially it competed against many popular word processors such as WordStar, Multimate, and WordPerfect. Word for DOS was never really successful.
The Mac version was introduced in 1985 where it acquired a friendlier user interface and gained some popularity. A Microsoft Windows version was introduced in 1989, although Palantir WinText, NBI Legend, and Samna AMI/AMI Pro had beaten them to their own Windows platform. For a time Word for Windows competed with WordPerfect for Windows. There were also ports to OS/2, the Atari ST, and Unix.
The DOS, Mac, and Windows versions are quite different from each other, and each restarted their version numbering at «1.0». Later versions are bundled with Microsoft Office. Also see a complete list of word processors archived on Winworld.

Wikipedia утверждает, что последней версией под DOS была 5.5, а ее можно свободно скачать с сайта Microsoft.
p.s. Однако, не русская версия, это требование в исходном сообщении я просмотрел.
С наилучшими,

Если меня еще окончательно не клинит, был Word 6.0 for DOS. Просто инфа сейчас уже погребена под кучей нового.
Вот тут н-р, в прайсе, он есть. Кстати, прикольный документик…..

Тем более наши сограждане так быстро с версии на версию перескакивают, что прошлогодний софт бывает уже трудно найти, не говоря о таких пыльных раритетах. А все от того что за софт не платим .
Да вот еще адресок, но скачать не получается

Ворд для дос 6.0 русский был, я в нем работал даже. Однако Ворд 5.5 был при этом гораздо круче, ведь он был тогда еще не майкрософтовский

Question

Folks:
I remember reading a while back that MS Word 5.0/5.5 for DOS was Abandonware and that it was available for download just as DOS 6.22 is available; however, I can’t seem to find the download when I search the Download Center on the site.
Does anyone know where this download is? Is there a location that hosts all the abandonware?
Thanks

Hello, I have a school project coming up ad would like to run this version of word on my PC for demonstration. I have DOSBox but I cannot download word, probably because I have Windows 10. Do you have any solutions?
