Blue Chip Word Processor by Visiontronics and Professional Software, Inc. Designed by Jacques Lebrun (1984) - This is the word processor that accompanied the Blue Chip D12/10 daisy wheel printer.  It's a fairly capable application, supporting 40, 80 or 120 columns. Thank you Thomas Shaw for sharing this!

C64 Miniword v2.5 by Bo Zimmerman (The Zacman! ?? Is that Bo's handle?) - In my hunt for the Mirage Word Processor, I stumbled on Bo's github page where I found this neat little word processor.  Since there wasn't an actual compiled release of the program, I imported the project into CBMPrg Studio, assembled the ML part, then Blitzed the BASIC part and put all the necessary files into a D64 disk image.  Complete docs are in both the masterfile (mw_docs.txt) and also on the D64 that can be loaded into Miniword.  Miniword uses .prg files for storage, so you will want to load the file "2.5docs.mw".

The Github page and source files can be found HERE!

COSMI Text & Data Pro is a combination word processor and data base system

Easy Script is one of the more popular and affordable word processors for the Commodore 64. Its output files are in a SEQ (sequential file) format, so they are relatively easy to convert to a more modern, readable format.  Included in the archive is the program, manual and review in pdf format.

Written by Steve Cumiskey, released in November 1988 - This program is intended to be used to write text information or instruct- ion for any other program. It will save those text as a seq file on disk. The text can then be loaded back and read onscreen or printed out. This program will then load the program the text was written for.

This neat little text editor has a feature that lets you encrypt the file so that you need two codes you assign to unlock the file.

HES Writer 64 ByJerryBailey (1982) - As quoted from the manual:

Thisprogramallowsyoutoentertext intothecomputerviathecomputer keyboard,theneditandformatthe textbeforeprintingit.

I suppose in 1982 you could look past the crudeness of this program, and were just have something better than a typewriter.  Anyway, here's a link to the manual which is surprisingly detailed.

HITEX by LDX#40 is a neat little text editor that works in the Commodore 64 hi-res graphics mode.  Full support for load & save, so who know, this could be your new word processor for that novel you've been meaning to write.

Here's a simple but effective text editor for the Commodore 64 from the Starter Kit disk by the NorthWest group of California.  Although it's calling itself a "Word Processor", it's really a line based text editor.  That aside though, it does the job, and supports load/save from disk or tape, and printing among other things.  If you just need something simple to edit a .SEQ file, this might be one to check out.

This archive includes the full NorthWest Starter Kit.  There are some other utilities / programs you might find useful on it.

HomeWord by Sierra-Online (1983) - This is a neat word processor that came early in the Commodore 64's existence but had the neat feature of being able to see a live preview of the documents layout as it would be when printed out even though you only had 40 columns for editing.  I haven't been able to find any documentation for this rare find.  In fact, it's so rare that there isn't even a cracked version of this that I could find.  That said, let me tell you a bit about what's in this archive.  So there is both a .g64 and .d64 disk image, and both of them have some mild copy protection still in tact.  The odd thing about the .d64 image is that it will work in VICE, and on the Ultimate II+ with Firmware 3.9, but won't work on an Ultimate 64 with Firmware 3.10, hence the .g64 image which I created by putting the .d64 on the Ultimate II+ and using Shotgun II nibbler to create a real floppy, then using Nib copy on a PC with a XUM1541 with parralel adapter to read back the floppy into a .g64 which the Ultimate 64 is ok with.

Thanks to DLH over at the Bombjack site, we now have some documentation!  Although the manual is for HomeWord Plus, I'm sure most of it applies to this version also

Interword is a Commodore 64 assembly language port of an Amiga word processor.  The software was written in 1992 on a commission from Interactivision, a software company based in Silkeborg, Denmark.

Although Paper Quick calls itself a word processor for the C64 & 1525 Printer, it really is closer to a simple text editor, because it lacks the features most people would have expected from such a program. This doesn't mean it 's useless. Paper Quick is really a nice simple approach to editing text.

PaperClip is designed for ease and simplicity in use, yet is powerful enough to tackle almost any wordprocessing job.  Many advanced features not found with micro-computer wordprocessors are incorporated in PaperClip.  The result is a document which reads better, being created in less time.

Note: There are several different release versions in this archive.  The one I use is named "paperclip-64.d64" but I included all of them I could find.  A few don't work under VICE 3.1 but work fine in CCS64 v3.9.2 and on the Ultimate64.

WRITE NOW! 64 (1983) by Computer:Applications Inc (Distributed by CARDCO, Inc.).  Described by the manual as follows:

WRITE NOW! was designed to provide you with an easy to use inexpensive word processor that provides the most desired features of an expensive word processor while being simple to learn and efficient to use. WRITE NOW! is written completely in machine language to eliminate the slowness found in some word processors. WRITE NOW! also uses screen oriented editing so it does not require the cumbersome editing modes required by other word processors.

As far as I know, the program was only officially distributed in cartridge form, but a group called ABA-Soft created a disk version.  This archive contains both a .CRT and .D64 if the program.  The .CRT version was pulled from a ROMset found here on archive.org, and the .D64 version was found here on csdb.dk. The manual for WRITE NOW! 64 can be found here.
