Tasword is a word processor for microcomputers developed by Tasman Software.[1] The first version was released for the ZX81 in 1982 and spawned two major revisions in addition to several add-ons and, later, tailored versions for the +2 and +3 Spectrum models, the SAM Coupé,[2] the MSX,[3] the Timex Sinclair 2068[4] and the Amstrad CPC[5] range.

Many of the features of modern word processors were included, such as justification, word wrap and page header. Features such as bold text and italic type were achieved through sending special escape sequences to a printer.

It featured the ability to use a 64 characters per line font in the standard ZX Spectrum screen.

Add-on products included TasMerge for mail merge functionality (which was later included in Tasword III and later versions) and TasSpell for spell checker.[6]
