- hga 13y agoClearly you never used Word Perfect for Windows ^_^. OK, I didn't, but a lawyer friend who was a very loyal to the DOS version did, and gave up because it kept dropping his tables and such to the bottom of the document. I guess you could have used it as an electronic typewriter for the most basic of stuff, but in your hypothetical I would have gone back to TeX, Scribe or even nroff if I really needed things like tables. However, I didn't have to do that, I could and did buy a copy of Microsoft's solid Word for Windows (on floppies, even).
