word processor

[jnervijr]

i'm looking for a word processing application.
i don't want to buy Word or MS Works.

any ideas for a fairly simple app.? i use wp to take notes, cutting & pasting from websites. a good toolbar & word count are important.

ty for any ideas.

Word Perfect is a very common one. http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Corel2/Products/Content&pid=1047022958453&cid=1047022958993 Here also is a link to another one I have not used or heard of http://www.abisource.com/

It is important to have one that will be compatible for others to read though. A large number of people use MS Word and that program can read Word Perfect documents. I am not sure about the other one. Star Office is another one http://simsub.digitalriver.com/cgi-bin/se/sun/staroffice/0/keyword/star_office_exa.

Hopefully these will give you something to look at.

I used AbiWord (http://www.abisource.com/) in college.
