Microsoft Office may rule but it isn't the only game around. There are plenty of options for the average user for using word processing applications or even the full suite at little or no cost to the end user.
"What? Little or no cost?, " you say?
Yes. Little or no cost at all to you. But think. Do you really need, at home, a full-blown integrated suite of applications? Do you really need mail-merge? Or research formatting?
Check out some of these options...try them! One of more of them may fit your needs!
- Commercial software: Oracle Open Office, Word Perfect, Atlantis Word Processor, Polaris Doc Master
- Free/Open Source software (FOSS): Lotus Symphony, TED Notepad, SoftMaker, Kingsoft Writer, Bean
- Online Word Processors (Cloud): Open Office, Adobe Buzzword, Google Docs, Zoho Writer
