I was exposed to several word processors at the time, and choose PC-Write[0] (shareware pioneer) as my primary tool. After becoming an advanced user of vi and nroff for various tasks (programming, desktop publishing), I found PC-Write to be the best tool when migrating to the PC world.

"One unusual feature of PC-Write was its implementation of free form editing: it could copy and paste a block of text anywhere."

It's what I used as a kid, so it's all I know from that era. I still have those templates on my keyboard.
