Question #1:

Yes, it is the AT&T word processor (if installed) that is accessed from
the file cabinet window when you select create file.

Question #3:

The AT&T word processor does provide a 'FULL window' for editing
purposes, and in addition, allows the word processor to be the default
editor in the Office Preferences window.

I don't know why AT&T isn't pushing the word processor more as I
think it's a great product.
