In any Office program, go to Help > About and click the System Info
button.

For a less extensive listing, go to Start > Run and type

cmd /k systeminfo

Try Help | About Microsoft Office Word | System Info.

I guess I read that differently. I thought the instructor was telling him
that the system he was to build must meet the specs for Word.

I have the answer to that.. a laptop running a Pentium MMX (200 MHz) with 64
MB RAM.. touch typists beware though.. more than 30 words per minute and
Word is playing catchup..

Anybody who can type more than 30 wpm on a crummy old laptop keyboard
has my respect. <g>

Anyone who can type more than 3 wpm blows me away. Darned keys are so close
together and most of them are in some strange location!

Then a Dvorak keyboard layout is something for you!
The issues you mention, are explicitly addressed by Dvorak.

I just meant that the keys on a laptop are physically too close. But for the
next two days it's all I'm going to have.

Thanks, I didn't realize that systeminfo.exe was so restricted.
