word processor

[LonelyGhost]

anyone have any recommendations for a decent working and priced word processor (under $100)?

my 30 days on Word just expired and I don't want to pay what MS wants to keep going ... tried Wordperfect and they load waaaaay too much extraneous junk along with it ...

note pad is just too bare bones.

don't do or need graphics, powerpoint, spreadsheet etc ...

For $49.85 you can download Sun Microsystems Staroffice 7.

Why don't you get word or office from one of those online 'sharing' programs, or pm me.

You might take a look at ABiWord.

It's free and similar to Word in look and feel - sample screenshot

Compatibility with Word might be a bit awkward if you have to share your document with other people.

I haven't tried it yet so I can't recommend - it's on my list of 'someday' projects.

I agree openoffice.org

But between you and me why don't you just download office 2003??

downloaded openoffice ... works fine so far ...

don't want the 480mb office 2003 that will expire again ...

i just want a simple typetypetype word processor that won't kill my bank account ... open office is good ... may try the other one (abi?) as well..


thanks all for the recommendations!
