Re: [DDN] Typing software for Windows
For free typing, we use senselang.com, but I'm afraid I haven't gotten enough feedback to give very constructive comments on it to this list. My limited experience is it's a bit confusing, but useful and, of course, free.

RE: [DDN] Typing software for Windows
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.

RE: [DDN] Typing software for Windows
Brian, if you aren't particular about it being Windows - and just want it to work - maybe one of these openware word processing programs might be useful? I can't vouche for any of them - but they are free!
