What do you process words with?

Recently, I stopped using MS Office, as I refuse to buy another obnoxiously overpriced suite of programs (80% of which, I wont use). I recently downloaded Pages 09 and I have to say as a Word replacement for a simple word processor, it isnt bad at all. I mean I use Scrivener for stories, and I tried Mellel and the layout didnt grab me, though I hear it has quite a few nice features.

The bummer is, Word is kind of the industry standard for typing stuff, whether you're in school or a business office, everyone uses MS stuff. (even though any good word processor nowadays can read and save as or export to .doc files.)

So what do you guys use?

I've been using Google Docs for all of my school work. It's free, and I can access them from anywhere, including my phone. I forgot to finish an essay, so I finished it on my phone on the way to school. Then, I went to the library during homeroom and printed it.

I was using Libre, but my formatting got messed up every time I printed (I email my documents to an HP printer that's hooked up to a Windows PC). Now I use Google Docs, the best part is being able to access my documents from any computer using any OS.

Notepad all the way!

OpenOffice now, used to use Word.

I use OpenOffice, ever since Microsoft fvcked up Word. It has all the filetypes you could ever wish for and it's free.Deihjan

Microsoft word of coarse. I would never pay for it though yarrr.

I use Microsoft Word Starter on my PC and the version of MS Word that comes in the Mac version of Office for my Macbook Air.

I use Word now though I used to use Open Office. I had some complaints that stuff I did in Calc was not coming through properly in Exel so I needed to get the cheapest version of Office I could get. The company I work for uses Office and everything is done in Word or Exel.

with my dick of course

OpenOffice.

So much OO love here!

Apparently, LibreOffice is even better. I'll give it a try one of these days.

I just use MS Word cause I bought the Student Office set back when I was in college.

Microsoft Office Word 2007

LibreOffice, currently. I also use Notepad++ at times.

In the past, I used AbiWord. A pretty buggy processor (I can't particularly recommend it). But I used it to start off my fiction writing, and it will be important to me just because of that. :D

I use Microsoft Office Word 2007. Works great most of the time and don't really see the point of switching to anything else.ExoticAnimal
