Pull down "About Microsoft Word" under the Apple menu when running
Word. The display box will provide the information.

The documentation is written for Word 4.00x, because Microsoft 
can't predict how many different updates will be necessary
under any particular version of a program that they publish.

Might try installing a new, fresh copy of Word onto your hard disk.
Sometimes, for mysterious reasons, a copy of a program will get
munged and it can be fixed by putting a new copy of the program
on the hard disk.
