I've been using an Everex VGA card in conjunction with Microsoft Word, and
if I use the /H switch on Word, I get 60 lines/screen -- but there are no
useful color combinations!  All of them are two adjacent colors, and are
completely unreadable.  I've tried several of the many, many modes of
the VGA card, and none of them are useable except for 25 lines/screen.

Does anyone have a useful way of running Word in 60 lines/screen mode
(or even EGA mode 43 lines/screen) on the Everex VGA?  My home system
EGA card has crapped out, and I'm trying to decide whether to buy 
another EGA card, or buy a VGA.  I would prefer the VGA, but not if 
I can't Word to do anything useful with the extra lines.

Email preferred, because I have to make a card purchase decision
