The OpenOffice suite is free and windows compatible: downloadable from www.openoffice.org, results compatible with Microsoft Office programs (hem, not if you go into complex page settings with tables, though).
Purely for writing: there's something called AbiWord. I've used it a couple of times, don't like it so much, but the advantage is you don't have to get the whole suite, say if this person has little storage available. cheers Claude Claude Almansi www.adisi.ch _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
