Word versions and classes

[Anne Chenette <anne -at- WAVEFRONT -dot- COM>]

Can someone explain the versions of Word?

I'm confused by all the numbers.  What is/are the latest versions
of Word, and how different are they?  For example, is there a Word 7?
Where does it fit between Word 6 and Word 97 (what I run in Office 97)?
And what is Word 8?  A client mentioned it yesterday, and I was lost.
(Can you tell that I'm mostly a Frame user?)

Also, can anyone in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area recommend a
"Power Word" class for communications professionals?  I know the
basics, but I want to learn tips, tricks, gotchas, and skills for
effectively and efficiently handling very large projects (200+ page
manuals, large manual sets) with indexes, cross references, version
control, master-pages/templates, on-line reviews, etc., etc., etc.

                                Thanks,
                                  Anne
