Amiga Writer! It only needs a bit of work IMO. It does everything I need it to do personally (which isnt much)
Lucky you. I couldn't even get it to work, but maybe it's improved drastically since last I tried. Now, in theory I've nothing against any of the Amiga WP programs, in fact I've used excellence! and Wordworth a lot and found them good solid tools, if a little under-featured as other OSes caught up and went past in the fast lane.
OTOH, OpenOffice.org isn't just a word processor. I like it a lot, to the extent I'm considering buying StarOffice, Sun's version with extra features, for my boxen.
Reasons for porting OOo:
- Word processing/spreadsheet/HTML editing capabilities
- Compatible MS Word/Excel
- Available on a number of platforms (reduced learning curve when changing from another system)
- Powerful (not everyone is just going to type a letter)
- People have heard of it (eg French schoolchildren are being taught to use it) , so it's a selling point
Does this help?
