Because WP for DOS was not designed for use with a mouse, both hands stayed on the keyboard. Once you learned all the function keys — and I had lots of experience with which to do that — a touch-typist could be blazingly quick. That was, in fact, the last program I used that allowed me to type faster than I can think. That particular ability, however, is only useful for typing something that’s already been written. And who does that anymore? :)
