Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 5.0 has been localized to

worldwide. French, German, French-Canadian, Italian, and Swedish
versions will be available in the first quarter of 1992. Dutch,
Norwegian, Danish, and Finnish versions will be available in the
second quarter of 1992. Turkish and Portuguese versions are also
planned.
MORE INFORMATION
To run Word 5.0, you must have a Macintosh Plus or later model
Macintosh, System 6.0.2 or later, and have at least 1 megabyte (MB) of
