Word processing on classic amiga?

Would be interesting to discuss also about any possible compatibility with Microsoft *.doc.

Wordworth 6 and 7 had RTF compatibility, as did FinalWriter97.

As to the OPs question regarding what would run on an unexpanded 1200... I (briefly) ran Wordworth 4.1 that way, but I have to say it was a deeply unpleasant experience and offered no real way of exporting files to other word processors beyond .txt.

I have to say that I prefered Wordworth, but then my needs didn't really extend to the things offered by FinalWriter.

Personally I always liked Wordworth... infact we used to use WW on floppies (a LOT of swapping!)

Oh yes I remember that, and woe betide you if you dared to change font...

and printer driver was included IIRC... Could have scalable graphics etc, all on a stock A1200.

I could never get it to print though.

Can't remember what the latest version of WW is

Wordworth 7 was the final release, although it required a patch to actually be usable due to some cockup on the installer. The patch was present in AmigaActive CDs.

, not sure how to get it either.

The full program? Ebay or by some other, more nefarious method.

With A1200 there was some pack that included certain Wordworth version, I guess that will work.

The Magic pack, as released by Escom included Wordworth 4SE. Tbh though you are in for a whole world of hurt if you run even that version without a hard drive and at least some extra ram.
