Word Perfect was great, but the thing was harder to use and even harder to train someone to use.

I took naturally to Word Perfect because I was trained in the era of IBM Selectric Keyboarding but for the users who never typed, MS Word was incredible. Even they could type.

In the end, Word won due to its simplicity and not because it was more capable.

Word won due to its simplicity and not because it was more capable.

The easiest to use were word processing software by Lotus.
AmiPro to start and then Word Pro.In both they ware so easy to use. Truly the most intuitive. Word was a poorly written copy of AmiPro. In AmiPro, most tasks could happen with right click menu's, and well designed main menu's. Word Pro extended those functionalities.

MS Word was made part of Office and MS more or less bribed or forced computer builders to include it in new computers.

It is a shame Word Pro and AmiPro before it lost the give away battle. The were FAR superior products. Everything was more natural when creating or formatting a document.
