Subject: Re: MS Word using 800x600 VGA resolution

|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. 

The answer is "It depends on your video hardware". If the video company has
written a 600x800 video driver for windows then yes you can. If not then
no. 

Word for Windows install a runtime version of windows for you from setup
if you don't already own windows. 

Call your customer support number for you video board and ask if they have
a high res 800x600 video driver for windows.
