MS certainly never made Office for OS/2, but MS did make OS/2 apps way back in the 1.* days. After the divorce, IBM got the bastard child, dressed it up with the improved Work Place Shell, and released it as OS/2 2.0=>2.1=>3.0=>4.0. MS never did directly support those versions with real OS/2 apps, but IBM made sure that Win 3.1 stuff ran under WINOS/2. So, MS kept breaking WINOS/2 with the Win32S game, by continually "updating" Win32S. This kept IBM busy updating WINOS/2 up to the Win32S 1.25 level, at which point IBM gave up because it was clear that MS would just keep breaking Win32S compatability. The last version of Office that ran under WINOS/2 was Office 4.3. I have heard of Word for OS/2, and even a PM version of Excel, but I've never seen them.
