Hello,

I have two questions:

I happen to be going to the States in a short time I am thinking of buying 
Word for Windows (it is much cheaper there ). There has been much talk
here about its graphical capabilities and the graphic formats it accepts. What
I would like to know is if it is worth the price and how it compares to other
wordprocessors. Also, is it reasonable fast in a 12Mhz AT?

I have doubts about how Windows 286 manages EMS memory. Does it, itself, use  
it for swapping out memory and making room for other programs?. If so, is it
better to use extended memory over 1MB as EMS or should I better leave it for 
SmartDrive?.
Thanks.
