See the attached screenshot. This is Microsoft #Word 5.5 for #DOS running in #DOSBox 0.74-3. For the moment, the installer can be obtained from:

https://archive.org/download/msword5.5/Wd55_ben.exe

To install, run "Wd55_ben.exe" and then "SETUP.EXE" [which the first EXE should create].

"Wd55_ben.exe" has a glitch where it's apparently supposed to restore a directory structure, but fails to do so. The result is roughly a dozen messages similar to the following:

Warning: HPDJ.PR$ already exists. Overwrite (y/n) ?

However, when "SETUP.EXE" is done, you should have the working program shown in the screenshot.

The screenshot indicates that the program supports images. However, not, it appears, JPEG files. You might need to convert JPEG files to Postscript to use them in this setup.

Weil ich es immer wieder vergesse schreibe ich es hier für mich und Euch auf: Wenn Ihr den Bearbeitungsschutz eines #Word-Dokuments entfernen müsst und das dafür nötige Password nicht habt:
- Docx-Dateien sind nur eine Zip-Datei mit vielen Einzelfiles.
- Öffnet die Datei in einem ZIP-Programm (z.B. 7-zip)
- Dort die Datei \word\settings.xml bearbeiten
- Sucht folgendes Setting: w:enforcement=“1”
- Ändert die 1 zu einer 0.
- Speichert die Datei
- Fertig! 🥳

Oh FUCK YOU, Microsoft, what fresh hell is this? This just started turning up today. Whenever I start or click into a different paragraph. And there's apparently no way to turn off the "alert" bug in 365 for MacOS.

Welp. Unless I can learn to ignore it, this may be the thing that pushes me over the edge into using Open Office. (Is that the current best open replacement for Word?)

Instead of endlessly posting quotes from different famous death people in the history, here was one of outstanding explanation and analysis by Jacques #Barzun on one single word "Esprit" which was used by Blaise #Pascal.
Who, you have learned from? and to trust? by one single click on your google translator, by post and repost without any ground on social media? or spending some times with the advise from your well educated language teachers and professors?

"Expériences connectées" signifie que #Microsoft collecte vos fichiers #Word et #Excel et leur contenu pour entrainer son #IA.

Pourquoi ne pas l'appeler "entrainement IA" ? Pourquoi utiliser ces mots ? C'est une pratique non éthique de la part d'une société multi-milliardaire.

Comment est-ce légal ? On peut effectivement se poser la question : l'est-ce vraiment en Europe d'ailleurs avec le DMA/DSA ou le RGPD ?

Ni Office ni Windows sur ma machine perso, donc pas de soucis pour moi. Seulement utilisés au boulot : j'imagine que mon entreprise se fiche que Microsoft puisse avoir accès à ses données confidentielles.

"Microsoft Office, like many companies in recent months, has slyly turned on an “opt-out” feature that scrapes your Word and Excel documents to train its internal AI systems. This setting is turned on by default, and you have to manually uncheck a box in order to opt out.

If you are a writer who uses MS Word to write any proprietary content (blog posts, novels, or any work you intend to protect with copyright and/or sell), you’re going to want to turn this feature off immediately.

I won’t beat around the bush. Microsoft Office doesn’t make it easy to opt out of this new AI privacy agreement, as the feature is hidden through a series of popup menus in your settings:

On a Windows computer, follow these steps to turn off “Connected Experiences”: File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings > Optional Connected Experiences > Uncheck box: “Turn on optional connected experiences”"
