6 years ago, on my first laptop, I ran Win95 and Office on a 486-DX 33

eventually ended up using Hamm split onto the HDD and a 100Zip drive.
I also have a Pentium 100 40MB RAM, 1.2GH H

At the risk of helping a windows user, let me suggest a solution to your problem
that won't cost you any money.
Go to http://www.abisource.com/ and download AbiWord version 1.0.1 for Windows.
It is a very nice, lightweight WYSIWYG word processor, it has all the features
you would need to form

I'm running the stock abiword 0.7.4-1 Debian package on potato and it
