There's an article about Word for Windows in the December 88 Byte:
	     The developers and major proponents of Windows
	have finally released a word processing package that's
	specifically tuned for Window's graphic interface.
	It's called Microsoft Word for Windows (WfW), and it
	offers all the features of Word's non-Windows
	sibling, plus lots more.
	     WfW takes advantage of Windows' advanced
        graphics by giving you a full WYSIWYG view of your
	document along with full editing features.
	     To use WfW, you'll need an IBM AT, PS/2, or
	compatible, Windows 2.0 or higher, and MS-DOS 3.0 or
	higher.
	PRICE: $495; network node package, $250; upgrade
	from any version of Word, $125.
