Microsoft Word 5.5 And 6.0 In-depth DOS Review With Pics (2018)
In-depth written review for the MS-DOS based word processors Word 5.5 and 6.0 from Microsoft, with pictures.
Forever taking the backseat to WordStar and WordPerfect in DOS, I do wonder if Word wouldn't have just been discontinued before its acclaimed Windows release if not for the success of the Mac version. You can insert tables (a 6.0 added feature), add bullet lists, macro's, and most other things you'd be wanting from a top class word processor of that time. I would give a hand of applause to WordPerfect in that category, which continues to allow you to read from and save to older versions that date back into the 1980's, with few issues.
