Winword IS another name for MS Word for Windows.

If you're not satisfied with W4W/WFW/Winword, there are a few other 
packages out there you might try.  One is Ami Pro from Lotus, which 
has a much more graphical interface than WFW -- It is, from what I 
have heard, very nice for light page layout/desktop publishing.  
Another WP is Legacy, which is produced by WordStar Corp.  It is not 
WordStar for Windows, but it sounds pretty decent.
If you can wait, WordPerfect for Windows is scheduled to be out 
sometime in the next few months, and from advance reviews it sounds
like it's going to be pretty amazing.  Finally, WordStar for Windows
is also in the works.

That's all the Windows WP packages I can think of...If anyone can think
of others, go ahead...
