BUSIWRITER

BUSIWRITER A Honey of a Word Processor

Why word processors?

Word processors allow the user to quickly and easily create letters,

memos, notes, reports, term papers, manuals, poetry and any other writ

ten information using the memory of the computer as a pencil and

paper. The computer display or terminal acts as a window through

which the user views the information as it is entered. The outstanding

advantage of using BUSIWRITER is that it acts not only as a pencil and

paper but as a perfect eraser and automatic typewriter.

BUSIWRITER The Queen Bee of Word Processors

BUSIWRITER allows the user to quickly and easily make any number

of alterations to the text. BUSIWRITER will instantly reformat your text

and show you exactly and continuously how the final output will appear.

BUSIWRITER has more functions than any other known microcomputer

word processor. With BUSIWRITER assisting in the entry of text, provid

ing a 20 page memory and performing an enormous number of editing/

composing functions, the preparation of written data is far faster and

outstandingly more accurate than if it were prepared by hand.
