Word on the PC can be used with only the PC keyboard, but it is obviously designed for and works much better with the two-button Microsoft mouse. Microsoft Word has been a best seller on the IBM PC for quite some time, and has earned an enviable reputation for flexibility and competence. Serious wordsmiths, however, have long chafed under the limitations of MacWrite and have longed for something more powerful. While it lacks many features standard in even simple word processors, MacWrite is so easy to learn and use that a tremendous amount of useful work has been done with the program. MacWrite is a rather primitive word processor at heart, saved by the beauty and intuitive operation of the standard Mac user interface. As the Mac software drought has eased, Mac owners have been inundated with one database management program after another, but the only word processor available has been the MacWrite program supplied by Apple with each new Mac.
One of the most eagerly awaited programs for the Macintosh has been the Microsoft Word word processor. Summary: Superb word processing makes the Mac a serious business system
Microsoft Word a full-featured word processor for the Macintosh.
