Word program recommendations.
 

Bought a new laptop from Best Buy. Got a good deal on another Lenovo as I enjoyed it's functions.

However I was less than satisficed on the high pressure tactics on ancillary items and Office Suite.

I now need a Word processing program....that's all. Can anyone recommend a free or cheap program online? One with no spyware, prompts to buy crapola etc.

Has to be downloadable as the machine has no disk drive. If someone has a working program on a flash drive that is workable as well.

Google docs. Works well, nothing to download, saves as you go, files can be downloaded as a word doc. Cant think of a reason to not use it.

Check out OpenOffice shareware.

Not shareware, Free software. There is a difference. It is Free (libre). The fact that it is also free (gratis) is just a side effect.

+1, my computer actually has the full microsoft office suite (including Word) and I still use Google Docs for everything... it is the superior product, it's free, and everything lives out in "the cloud" so if you run over your computer no sweat: all of your docs etc are safe and you can access them from any computer, anywhere in the world.

Joe Bob, go to https://docs.google.com/ and enjoy. If you don't already have a Google login you will need to create one (they will prompt you), but this too is free.

I use Word 97 SR-1.

All I want to do is type up a simple document. It works well. So what's that, 24 years old and still good. Thanks Mr Gates and sorry the marriage didn't work out so well.

Thanks for the leads. SmileWavy
