What do you use for a word processor?

[c_hegge]

OK, what office program suite does the bcn community use?

I use almost entirely OpenOffice. I do have M$ office 07, but I only ever use word/excel if someone sends me something in a format which OO won't open (wps, and some docx files for instance).

Office 2003.

Funny you added notepad and wordpad to the poll....I posted above before the poll was posted. I still use notepad all the time for basic coding. Clean and simple. If its more advanced with tons of lines/pages, I'll use ultraedit or frontpage, easier to keep track of.

Office 2013 on all my Windows computers. On my one Linux computer I use LibreOffice.

Office 2010. I legally own 2007, 2010 and 2013 and 2013 sucks and 2007 is ugly.

I highly recommend Sublime Text 3 for code editing. I used to prefer Notepad++ but it's interface is just so ugly!

Brackets by Adobe is the new kid on the block. It's got potential but I don't like it as much as Sublime yet. All of these are for Windows of course.

Well, I've used InDesign for making books before. There's not a lot out there to replace it that works on Windows or Mac OS.

I think that's been a given ever since the first Photoshop clone rolled out. Also, PDFs still need to die horribly in a fire. Huge PDF documents seem to go hand in hand with government and corporate websites, when a few KB of HTML and an image or two would have sufficed. Needless to say, Google all but gave up with Flash on YouTube after its dismal performance this side of 10.3 (although you can still watch YouTube videos with Flash by disabling HTML5).

Office 2007, although i rarely use it.
Adobe Flash and Reader need to die, Photoshop and InDesign are industry standard.

Re: What do you use for a word processor?

At home, I prefer Office 97 (under Win 7) to Office 2003. I legitimately have both. I prefer Word 97 over Word 2003. Excel 2003 seems to offer slight benefits over Excel 97 though.

At work, I think I'm using Office 2013 (Word and Excel), though I'm not sure. I'll use notepad or Wordpad if I need to open a second document. One document per word processor seems to work well for me when I'm on the job.

And, BTW, Adobe should die in a fire. Didn't they give up on Flash for linux? (That really hurt linux.) Is Adobe really coming out with new versions of Flash for Windows every 90 days "for security reasons" or is it just for greater "hooks" into the OS? Adobe may get more data they can monetize (ad preferences?) with their hooks, but don't they create a whole lot more ways to break other things in the computer?

LibreOffice for documents, I've toyed with scribus for handouts/pamphlets.

Re: What do you use for a word processor?

I use Office 2007 for stuff that will actually be printed out or read by someone other than me, and Notepad for things like personal notes or things of that nature.
I prefer Office 2003 over 2007, but I need 2007 for compatibility reasons,
