I haven't had any problems with either the single user versions, or the
net versions of MS Word 5.0 working on the Net.  I would, however, 
recomend re-installing word 5.0 if you are using it on the net.  There
is a network installation option in the setup program.  If you are using
it on a single workstation, you should be fine.

You might verify your print queues are set up properly by trying to print
from DOS.  You can use the  command: "copy foo.txt lpt1:" if nothing happens,
then you have a network setup problem.
One other note is that you should have at least release 5.0A of Word
since the original 5.0 is quite buggy, and I believe that 5.0A was a free
upgrade.
