Word obviously predates the Mac but I don't think it predates the Apple //. However, the most popular word processor on the early Apples was Quark's Word Juggler. In the early years, it required the installation of a special chip on the mother board, but it really worked great. I used it for six or seven years. I still wouldn't mind writing with it. It did everything I ever needed to do for manuscript production. Paul On Nov 29, 2006, at 6:13 PM, Bob W wrote:
