Word Processor

[Praxis727]

Hi.  I am doing school work after years upon years of being out of it.  I don't want to have to spend hundreds for a good word processor.  I was wondering if anyone could suggest one as well as which file extension to save under.  Would help immensely.

OpenOffice. Hands down.

Open office and save word files as .doc . The file compatibility isn't that bad anymore.

OpenOffice, Google Docs, and iWork are all great platforms that are free.

Wow guys, fast responses and all on the same page.  I am liking this.  Thank you kindly for the quick response and the solid help.

You can set the default saved file extension in some office programs.

 

EG Saving into Word 97 or Word 2003/2007 formats instead of .ODT and such by default.

Openoffice. it was a little bumpy when Apache first attained it, but it's rock-solid now. Beats the hell out of word any day.

Open-source masterrace.

LibreOffice.

I used OpenOffice and MSOffice before, but LibreOffice is hands down intuitive and awesome when it comes to documents and spreadsheets.

Perfectly converts to MSWord format too.

Yeah but I made a PowerPoint  in Microsoft Office on one of the school computers.

 

Then I needed to present it a laptop of the teacher which had openoffice......the animations didn't work so my entire presentation was codelanguage

 

Have to try it again today.

I wouldnt use open office, but LibreOffice because it is based off open office but more active development.

Depending on what OS you're using, I love love love iWork. The online stuff is okay, so it's really only a good option if you are using OS X. The only other suite I have experience with is Google Docs, which works well for collaborative editing when I need it. I know a lot of people who use it and find it good.
