Does anyone know of any shareware (or inexpensive) word
processors for kids (age 10 or so)? It should be REALLY
simple and goof-proof. I use Microsoft Word, but this
is way beyond them. Even PFS Write is too complicated.
Thanks for your inputs.

I see one called KIDSWP.ARC advertised as a Shareware Child's Word Processor. Seems like there used to be one that I took a look at one time called WPK (Word Processor for Kids) and it was something like what you are looking for. I thought it was on Simtel also but do not see it listed in the EDUCATION directory nor EDITOR directory. Hope this helps. Good luck. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Davis \\\ INTERNET : sonny@trantor.harris-atd.com Harris Corporation, ESS \\\ UUCP : ...!uunet!x102a!trantor!sonny Advanced Technology Department \\\ AETHER : K4VNO PO Box 37, MS 3A/1912 \\\ VOICE : (407) 727-5886 Melbourne, FL 32902 \\\ FAX : (407) 729-2537

One program that I remember being used in the elementary schools in my home town was Bank Street Writer. This program was very easy to use. I believe the list price was under $100. It was available for the IBM, Apple II, and C64.
