My information comes by way of Byte.  Since I am commited to a Windows
platform until OS/2 2.0 is released, I've had no burning need of my own
to confirm this information with Microsoft or to obtain the PM version
of Word.  I've always found Byte to be fairly accurate, so in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, I generally believe what I read
there.  If you *do* happen to have concrete information to the contrary,
I would be most interested in hearing of it, since I will be moving to
OS/2 eventually.
