Word 2001 does that, yes.
I can work within those constraints, but can Word? What I am worried about is that Word might bugger up the code, inserting random pieces of garbage, each time I make the change. It is not prone to leaving you with clean text.
Further to this, I noticed your post about wanting one day to have a 'lab' just now. This is exactly what I am planning here, to press a variety of old hardware into service so that, as the spirit moves, I can use a PowerBook 1xx one day to write, a G3 the next, whatever (I have around 30 working units of one sort and another). The key thing about Word 5.1 for my purposes (and a major reason i am not thinking of using Nisus 5 or 6 instead) is that it runs happily on System 6 as well as 7, and I'd like to have a System 6 IIci, IIsi, and Classic II in the 'lab' as well as, say, some Quadras and PCI Macs.
