I began using Word at version 1 way back in the 1980s when the Macintosh was released. I don't think it made it to Australian shores until late 1984, but we must have been the first kids on the block with the new toy.
I have used just about every version since. I rarely use a Mac now - work environments dictate PCs and Windows, so there are a few releases missing from my repertoire.
During the great battle between Word and Word Perfect (WP), I was firmly on the side of Word. I loved wysiwyg and I hated remembering commands. WP seemed to encourage inline formatting where Word encouraged the use of styles, but this is hard to prove.
The wikipedia has an interesting article on MS Word versions.
