I like to print out the docs that are usually included with software
found here one the net, but I can't seem to print them in the format
the author intended using Word 4.0.

It seems everyone uses MacWrite format most of the time, but I don't
have it.  No problem!  (or so I thought)  I'll just open them up with
Word 4.0.  OK, but the margins and page breaks are messed up.  I don't
think the footers are quite right, either.  Fonts might be messed up
to.  I've tried messing with the above items, but I can't seem to get
it right.                      

Am I doing something fundamentally wrong?  My Word manual doesn't seem
to be of much help since the index only shows an entry on saving
MacWrite documents.

I guess the simple solution would be to get a copy of MacWrite, but is
it still available?  Are there any other good solutions?

Thanks!
