(correction) IMHO, 7.0 and 95 (I haven't been exposed to 97 (if that was
a thing)) are rebranding with possible minor fixes I can't point out.
So, 95 is last *usable* Word.  That being said...

Like, Doing transfer from paper to file by manual re-typing (yes, 120hpm
is good enough).  Auto-save skips if you are typing at that moment.
50min later -- BAM! CRASH! FSCK! 50min of work went improving The Termal
Death.  Yeah, good memories.

p.s.  Yes, LO has crashed on me once, but it was 100page .docx.  Now I
convert to .odt immediately and live happily ever after.

p.p.s.  People!  You can ship .odt and nobody notices.  Yes, there might
be accidents, but GUM (aka The Management) is aware that different
versions of Word behave differently.  And they are A-OK with this
because it's Word.
