   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.
