1st Word/1st Word Plus

1st Word Plus was a word processing program for the Graphical Environment Manager (GEM ). This word processor was running on Atari STs, on Acorn RISC computers and on IBM PCs on which GEM was installed.

It was characterized from the outset by the fact that it took advantage of the opportunities of the graphical user interface and example, the WYSIWYG principle supported. However, one could use in versions prior to 4.0, only one font, the essential optical formatting limited to bold and italics, and underlining of text. In addition, it was not possible to vary between single-spaced, double-spaced anderthalbzeiligem and line spacing within the document, and only the utility 1st Prop allowed the generation of a proportional font.

For decreed 1st Word Plus a good for its time footnote function, which contributed to its spread among students.
