Wasn't there an editor that was bundled with Windows? Not Wordpad. It was 
something like Outlook Express, which had nothing in common with Outlook, 
but was good enough for Mom's Christmas Letter. 

Other than reading RFPs and other documents that came my way in docx 
format I've never had a use for the genre. IT didn't install Office on the 
programming machines so we used LibreOffice. It was good enough for read 
only use.
