Luke:

I don't think there ever was a version 6.0 of Word for DOS.  Are you sure 
the version you are having trouble with isn't 5.0 for DOS?  The reason I 
ask is because 5.0 has a Y2k bug that can cause the kinds of errors you 
are running into.

No, it definitely claims to be version 6.0.  The about box shows...

                          Microsoft Word 6.0
              Copyright 1983-1993 Microsoft Corporation
                        All rights reserverd.

And the help menu has an item that pops up a whole section that
describes transitioning from 5.0 to 6.0.

BTW, Is Word 6.0 freely available the same way 5.5 is?
URL?

To be honest, I have no idea - it's not my copy and I'm not really the
one that uses it.  (Except to try to get it working.)
