Word Vs Word Perrrfect

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Open Office Writer yet. It's free and up to most word processing tasks.

I always use OpenOffice Writer. I used to use Gobe on BeOS and Zeta, but tbh OO just works, regardless of the platform I'm working on.

I guess it's down to document complexity. I know that recent editions of word do pose problems with OpenOffice.

If you're only doing the basics, OO.org does the job. Might be tempted to get that WP though at that price.
