According to the information you provide here about it, I see why it couldn't work and I can make my estimation what version of Word 6 I only had. It must have been the Windows 3 application - 'cause, starting with that one, it was Windows 3.11 as an OS. This version of Word 6 worked on that OS.
When I started having to do with it, it was already horribly outdated. At the beginning of the noughties, working with Win 3.11 at the beginning of my body's teens (CPU at 100 Mhz, no CD-drive, RAM - I have no idea...) - that definitely was outdated at that time. Since a realistic interest in computers was on none in my surroundings back then, I had no-one to learn anything from or ask anything. So I didn't really what I was dealing with, and also I wasn't smart enough to consciously play with its conditions.
