My question still stands. Can I configure my VGA card to drive MS Word for
Windows at the 800x600 resolution without a windows program? 
I believe the answer is no, but I'm not sure. One solution seems to be to
get an inexpensive Windows 286, configure the high-res graphics, then run
MS Word in this window's environment.
