retaining WP 5.1 for DOS with a Windows upgrade

It may be time to upgrade my old Windows 98 (first edition), and I'm trying to decide whether to choose 98 Second Edition, ME, or XP. My most important files are all in WP 5.1 for DOS, so I need to be able to continue to run this program without problems. Will all three Windows programs allow that? Any recommendations on which to upgrade to? I'm mainly interested in avoiding glitches and problems. I need no fancy applications; Windows 98 does everything I need and I like it, but I have difficulty opening Word attachments and need to get software (Word or Corel 12) that will help me there, and I've heard that Windows 98 First Edition is too primitive to support either of those. Recommendations?
