Hi,
my laptop came with windows xp proffessional sp2, but it doesnt have microsoft word. It has microsoft works ( with which am not realy comfortable ). Are there any effective n free programs or softwares which are quite similar to Microsoft Word coz right now I just cant affford to buy the whole Microsoft Words software.
Thanks.check out OpenOffice…. its an open source office suite project, ,eaning anyone can write extensions and addons for it. I havent played with it too much, but it seems pretty good. it comes with a word processor, spreadsheet program, presentation program, etc. you can save in a couple different formats like the MS Office extensions .doc, .xls, or even as Adobe pdf files
completely free, too
i never really saw much of a difference between word and works. maybe its just because I dont do that much with either of them
hmm, thanks for the posts guys, but honestly, I hv used both works and open office extensively (coz I had no word ) and I see that open office isn’t that cool. u still cant do many things u wuld do with words, like word count, and also the formatting is realy crap. it has many other deficiences. about works, I would say the same thing. add another thing to open office, it crashes a lot. and it takes ages to load a particular file. but anyways.. I appreciate your replies.
had I wanted to buy Word 2003, I would have already bought it. In this post, I am trying to find out if there is something like openoffice but more effective than openoffice but which might be either free or less costly. David, your message here doesnt serve any purpose here. And about not buying Word 2003, coz right now at the moment or in near future, I cant afford it.

Sure it does, you skipped the first bit:

Alantis Ocean Mind is a very good word processor. It is not glitchy like Abiword, and dosnt take as much memory as openoffice.org
