It likely wouldn't work even if you tried. I have friends in a writer's group dedicated to maintaining Wordstar keyboard compatibility in modern word processors. Until about a decade back, MS Word could be made to emulate almost any input scheme, perhaps something to do with legacy WordPerfect compatibility kept in for legal and government use. This worked until about 2007, when an upgrade took this facility away. You could try using a pre-2007 version, but note that MS changed the office document internals slightly in 2016. As almost everyone is on a subscription track now, older versions of Word will break files in ways that may require a complete manual re-key* to fix. Your corporate policy will likely ensure that your employment depends on getting with the programme. Stewart *: especially multi-page tables in documents with track changes. That gets positively Lovecraftian.
