Inter-Word was the first wordprocessor I ever used, if I remember
correctly in Junior school when I was about 8 years old, on one of the
BBC Masters that the school had just bought.

I used it extensively in secondary school. I remember once being
taught how to use mail-merge with it, in an IT lesson. Eventually
things like Ovation and Acorn Advance took over - and after I left
school, the boring Windows-based stuff that we have now.
