Apparently, the user license on the microsoft word that came with this hp pavilion pc package of mine i received way back in 2000 has expired. so i need a new program, because i'm not writing my essays in wordpad. i need it soon... i have an essay to write right now... |

get open office. its open source (hence the name), completely free, and has essentially everything ms office has minus an expensive license and bloated code. |

http://www.openoffice.org/ You have to put them together yourself I am feeling too lazy. Wierd it should expire now, Microsoft don't do long term time restricted licenses. |

its 5 megs, openoffice is all java . i find it too heavy. its a good complete replacement for ms office. but for your essay, abiword is the better choice. |

No. Jokes are forbidden during Ramadan. Actually, I heard that homosexuals are considering a festival with the same name. dog_belch is getting a little worried. |

hmmm... i've installed openoffice, but it's very slow, and it seems a bit cumbersome. plus i received a LOT of errors during installation, so i'm not too sure.... guess i'll try that abiword too. |
||||||||
|
|

|
it's probably not liking open office because: a) i'm on WinME b) my computer dislikes Java... a lot. i seriously can't even install updates anymore. |

Abiword is very cool. I recommend that - you can save them as .DOC files so they can be reopened and edited on MSWord. |

I do like Abiword. OpenOffice is an amazing peice of open source software. But, it is HUGE and can be cumbersome at times depending on what you're trying to use it for. |
||||||||

yes, i clicked that option while i was installing it! i like it a lot so far. epohs - yes, it did notice it acted "bulky" when i used it. for someone who's not a serious presentation maker, i just need a versatile typing tool, so abiword suits me quite well. |

open office is wicked! thanks for the info :) |
||||||||
|

yeah it's good but its slow on my pc. i'm sure it's just because my pc is an old fart. |
||||||||
