But it's not installed on that machine. It's on a server running
NT. All that exists on the W95 machine is a "shortcut" on the
desktop. I've heard the disc on the server crank up when I click
on that link.


I didn't think you could run Office programs without
installing them on a machine.  You can do a network install
or tell it to install (some of it) on a network drive but
I thought you had to go through the motions locally and
give it the serial number.  What version of word is
this?

I believe it's part of Office 97 or 98. I didn't set it up, and
I don't have access to that machine at the moment. Sorry not to
be able to be more specific.

I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
