I was still using WordStar and XyWrite. I had converted to Word before I
ever got Windows (but continued to have to use WordPerfect for quite some
time afterward).

What is DOS? ;-) You're right, I forgot about the DOS versions. I
used WordPerfect for DOS back then.

any version of Windows, and it's surely not what the poster has in

Word 3 (for DOS) was released in 1986, supplied as a box of 5.25 inch
floppies. It was back in the days when Microsoft was still small enough
to
have to care about their customers, and supplied real documentation (in
hard-cover!) as part of the product.
