"Claris Word" isn't a product. Perhaps you were thinking of MacWrite / MacWrite Pro (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacWrite) or ClarisWorks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleWorks)?
But yes, I'm aware of the history of the product.
ClarisWord never existed — ClarisWorks was the product. Claris had MacWrite II for a time because they were the software spin-off from Apple, and that was their stand alone word processor offering, not much better than Claris Works, which was one application unlike MS-Office.
