“Word and Excel”
Word was a poor second to Ami Pro from Lotus and Excel was a terrible copy of Lotus 1,2,3 and Lotus Symphony.
Both the Lotus programs were far superior Windows apps (at that time).
MS out marketed Lotus including forced their Office Suite on the computer manufacterers.
It was darn shame as Ami Pro was much better than Word.

I used Lotus Smart Suite as long as I could hold out. 123 allowed saving in Excel and Quattro Pro formats and Ami Pro was the best word processing program out there. Whe I was forced to use Excel only I still set it to operate off the slash "/" key until I got used to the drop down menus.
Now it's all Microsoft, take it or leave it...
