I would strongly recommend AppleWorks 2.n (the classic version that
works on the //c and the //e, *NOT* AppleWorks GS) for the word
processor.  Classic AppleWorks is an integrated system with a word
processor, spreadsheet, and data base.  It does not include a
spelling checker, but for that, I would recommend the TimeOut
QuickSpell add on.  This program (along with the many other TimeOut
routines) can be invoked directly from within AppleWorks.  No need to
save your document to a file and run a separate program.
