WordPerfect? Blah! Bloatware I tell you!  :-)

For an unexpanded A500 or A1000, for basic text editing with some word processing functionality, I'd recommend Protext.

This will import/export standard plain text as well as the native Protext format, which is interchangeable with versions of Protext on other platforms (PC, ST, Archimedes, etc).

You can still buy the PC version of Protext (here), but old Amiga versions can be found on magazine coverdisks easily enough (Amiga Shopper, Sept. 95 (disk 53) and others).

Protext has a spell checker!
