My 800k disks arrived!

I ordered 20 800k floppy disks from DisketteConnection.com for my Macintosh SE, and they arrived today. Needless to say, after the SE formatted it, the floppy disk works perfectly. At least, the one that I used. I hope the other 19 will be the same...

Anyway, now that I have these 800k disks, the SE and Centris 610 can now intercommunicate. If I start something on the Centris and want to finish it on the SE, or vice versa, it's now possible. But I have a concern. The Centris is running Microsoft Word 5.1a and the SE is running Microsoft Word 4. In order for the SE to read the documents written on the Centris, I'll probably have to install Microsoft Word 4 on the Centris. Am I correct?

I do have the software for Microsoft Word 4, but if I try to install it on the Centris, will it automatically install over Word 5.1a? Or will I get an option to keep 5.1a in addition to 4?

Thanks,

Did the website say sold out when you ordered or did you buy them out?

On the Mac side I know I can install several different versions of Word without it being a problem.
