Try an environment command like    'set vga=true'

We had trouble with Word and some of our ega cards and had to add the
'set ega=true' line to get them to work.  I think this subject is
documented (in a general sense) in the Word  readme.doc file.  We got
our fix by calling Microsoft tech support, which is generally quite
helpful.
