Depends on the typewriter. Before the advent of the Word Processor before Lotus and yes there were word Processors before Lotus and MS Word, electrical type writers became advanced than their mechanical counterparts. It got to the point where a typewriter had memory recording every press of a key and even had macro capabilities depending on the brand.
I used to run an MTST in conjunction with an MTSC for word processing. Also a Mag Card. A Wang word processor before that.
Then came PCs and WordPerfect ... yay!
