With my new computer came a copy of wordperfect. Im very happy with this program although it has has a few faults, such as slow loading time (only happened recently) and the files made with this pregoram cannot be opened in microsoft word (bad for school projects).
I was wondering if you guys use any other word processors that may be worth ckecking out. Prefferably ones that are compatible with microsoft word.
Open Office (also supprts exel & more)
or
AbiWord

Why not use Word itself?

Office XP/2003, There is an education version license you can get, it is like half off.

Open office is pretty good IMO.
Not that fond of Abi-word tho', opening some .docs in it made them look like gibberish.
I'd definitely go with Open Office if you want a good and free Office-suite.

I'd recommend OpenOffice myself - I'm using the 2.0 Beta myself and it's pretty stable :) although I'd recommend the Stable 1.1.4 versoin myself. :)
Download it at OpenOffice.org (http://www.openoffice.org). Just remember that when you save, to set the File Type as .doc :)
we forgot
