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 http://www.memecentral.com/mylife.htm

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
