"Easy Office"

hmm I typed "Free Word Processor" into Google and got a veritable page full of them ... here's an example <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Open office is fine.

"AbiWord" recieved a bad review and i reframed from downloading it....although its not good to go about the world trusting everything you hear...im making an exception <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

based off that review i found references to "Atlantis Nova" and "602PC SUITE 4.0" although i don't think "602PC SUITE 4.0" is free i downloaded it anyway to see if it is for sure.

602PCSuite......sucks! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" /> too finicky! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

well, jurak, i have no problem with 602 Pro PC Suite at all, since version 2001 through 2004. what do u mean by finicky? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> by the way, 602 Pro PC Suite is free for personal users.

oh yes, StarOffice 5.2 is free but not version 6. the current version is free only for education institutes, should they choose to apply for it. OpenOffice, the open source version of StarOffice, works very well & has the ability to convert your files to pdf format, which the feature isn't free in 602 Pro PC Suite. but then MS Office won't give u that feature for free.

of the two, i would choose OpenOffice as it also support Aportis Doc, which is Palm friendly. moreover, it has html editor, spreadsheet, presentation, database, etc.

well, it was a long time ago...probably 5yrs now since then...
but then again it could have been that POS computer i had, Hmmm, let
me think <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> if i recall Kee-rectly, i believe it was an 8088 with a 40 MB hard-drive and 8MB ram, oh yes and a clock speed of a whopping 12mhz....
so yer problee right Jangg, silly me, sombody whack me on the head!
nevermind....I'll do it myself! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/freak.gif" alt="" /> that's freaky! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

of course he has, jurak, it's below the waist & at the back. normally u can read 'calvin klein' just below it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

i deleted all the word processors i installed and tried and stuck with open office.......although im wary of any spell check program <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

thanks for your time

We use Open Office at work, and have for 2 years. When you save a document, I recommend not using an Open Office file format, but saving it as .RTF or .DOC. This way if you ever need to open it on a machine that uses Word you will be able to.
