'''Write''' (also called '''Microsoft Windows Write''', '''Microsoft Write''', '''Windows Write''') is the word processor that came with Microsoft Windows version 1.0 through 3.11, as well as Microsoft Windows NT through version 3.5. All versions were able to read and write '''.wri''' files, and later versions were also able to read and write Microsoft Word [[DOC|.doc]] files. It was replaced with Microsoft WordPad with the advent of Windows 95 (which could read Write format, but couldn't save to it).
