Jim,
If MickySoft is not another way of saying MS ignore this message (there are too many softwares that I just can't be sure if you're referring a 3rd party or not :)
Word.basic commands "nearly" work as is in w97 and w2000 too. There are few commands that doesn't work at all or doesn't work as intended. Replacement is word.application. Word.Application itself has a property called "WordBasic" that lets you use inline word.basic commands. e.g.:

oWord = createobject("Word.Application")
with oWord
  .WordBasic.FileOpen(..)
* Identical to - if you're not very strict on definitions :)
  .Documents.Open(...)

  .WordBasic.editbookmark("myBookmark",,1)   && Add bookmark
* Identical to
  .ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add("myBookmark")
endwith

In help file (vbawrd9.chm) see "Visual Basic Equivalents for WordBasic Commands".
word.basic has less than 1000 commands that could be run anytime. OTOH word.application is more like (or is) OOP. There are objects and PEMs of those objects :)
