Subject:windows word processors (fwd) From:Joe Fockler <jfockler -at- IPHASE -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 14 Oct 1994 12:03:00 -0500
Can any of you Microsoft Windows gurus out there help? This woman needs a
simple word processor - not a desktop publishing package. Are there any
simple Windows word processors on the market?
Thank you in advance for your input.

+ Microsoft Word is far too complex, and requires too much memory.
+ ClarisWorks sucks. The on-screen font display looks like crap, and

+ Does anyone know of any other reasonably easy to use word processors
+ for Windows that come with a spell checker (preferably one of those
