At that time, word processors were not as widespread and user-friendly. Word was more user-friendly than alternatives, I think, and attracted many new users.

Or maybe it was just a luck for MS, who knows...

Wordperfect 6.0 and 6.1 crashed frequently. When the auto save every 10 minutes feature showed up I started losing much less work! So just not crashing was a low hurdle for ms office to clear
