What Word-processing program you first used?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. mysf71 (528) 3 years ago

For me it is Wordstar 4. I used it first in 1991. There were many keystroke combinations for working in WS 4. I was quite amazed with the powers and appearance of WS4. Then I used WordPerfect 5.1 and 6: I was more surprised with their power. But now that I use MS Word 2003, those WS4 days seem to be very funny.

What about you? do you remember your first word-processing program?

Hmm...the first word processing program I used was WordPerfect.
Before that I had an actual word processor. It had a black screen, and the font on the screen showed up in an orange color. It was basically a type writer with a screen! It did not have a spellchecker or grammar checker or anything.

I remember by 3rd grade using wordperfect....now I could live without Microsoft Word! I also use openoffice at times too.

I really can't remember on what version of Word Star that i've used but I was just a little kid at that time when we're still using the black and white version of windows.

Well the first word processor I used was on the commodor 64 computer, I had bought a magazine for the commodore 64 and the code was there to type in the program and run it.

I now use MS Word 2003 and wont change

Hello,

I can remember at my primary school when it was about 1997 my school had Apple computers, some where black and white. We used Appleworks as our word processor, I can't even remember what it looked like. Make sure you have a good day, Happy Lotting!!
