It is a Mac version of Office.  Not knowing what it was, cost me a job in 2000.

WordStar has most of the required functionality, and is _much_  faster
for document creation, once you know the WordStar Command Set.  The

There are _four_ grammar checkers available for OOo.  Which one to use
depends upon the language that one wants to check the grammar in.

You still need to know grammar, to when the grammar checker is wrong. 
[The last time I used the grammar checker of Word, every single
instance of it highlighting "bad grammar", was, in fact, correct
grammar.]
