It was one of the first word processors on the platform to offer a true what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) display, using GDOS to work with multiple fonts and embedded graphics. Most previous word processors on the platform were either entirely text-based, like Atari's own ST Writer, or did not use GDOS and did not support multiple fonts and effects on-screen. Overall, the program was relatively simple, similar to MacWrite. It did offer some more powerful features like the ability to generate a glossary and good control over typography.
