I found reference to a word processing program for Win95:

The link is long dead. I was curious. I easily found links to slight older versions. Well, after much digging, I found the thing.
Major prefacing:
It's adware!
It apparently made it's rounds back-when in CDs that came with computing magazines in Europe. From a note in an earlier versions included in one of the mags:

If the best word processor you have on your system is WordPad, you might want to consider downloading WordWright. Thanks to banner advertising, it's free. The program offers most of WordPad's functionality along with several extras that are usually found only in expensive word processors. You'll find a spelling checker; the ability to work with multiple documents at once; import filters for .rtf, .doc, HTML, and .txt formats; and export filters for .rtf, .doc, and .txt files. Other features include search and replace, undo/redo, easy image insertion, and a table editor. Plus, it provides support for justification, tabs, indents, hanging indents, and margin/page size adjustment. Despite a few rough edges, WordWright should make a nice addition to your system.

The thing doesn't allow for wrapping text around images. It allows for embedding images other than BMP files, but it's JPEG/JPG filter seems limited (it doesn't like all JPEG/JPG) files... It does have tables, but when opening in other word processors or Microsoft's Word Viewer, the tables are render 'a little left' of the left margin...
This is another one of those things that isn't for everybody, but I suspect someone out there would like to take a look at it. I can see why someone would have recommended it back then. I'm going to take a better look at it sometime later.
