Not to mention that until the Apple //e was released in 1983, there weren’t even arrow keys on the Apple ][ keyboard. Even in the Apple //e era, word-processing was not only not WYSIWYG, but you had to insert printer-specific control sequences in your output which meant that on some printers, if you had a line break in the middle of an underlined phrase, the underline would continue from the left margin on the second line.
