Hi Pradeep,
Perhaps this excerpt from Richard Brodie, an acquaintence of mine and
Chris Purillo's (Lockergnome) mentor, one of the
original author's of MS Word would be helpful

Bob, what the author tells about the history of Word is intriguing, but
he barely starts before he stops.

Hi Pradeep,
One interesting tidbit of trivia:
~~~~~~~~~
Q7. In 1983, the subscribers of PC World received a free demo floppy with
the magazine. This was probably the first time in history that a magazine
featured a floppy bind in. Now a days this practice is pretty common with
magazines giving away CDs instead of floppies. What product was introduced
to the subscribers via that floppy?
A. Word for MS-DOS 1.0
