What Operating System does TheWord require?

What operating system does it run on?

theWord has been developed for the Windows operating system and is compatible with Windows 98 upwards (including Windows XP, Vista, and 7).

Old Carpenter Tools of his Trade is an explanation of why I, Pastor-Missionary David Cox, write my own materials like tracts, books, sermons, Sunday School material, etc. We produce the material that we use in our ministry and also for evangelism.
