I'm old too--I was trained on Wang, I have also used MultiMate and Wordstar, and I really, really miss reveal codes! And I learned on a manual typewriter and have used stand-alone word processors on some jobs. And of course, like everyone else I'm now forced to use Word. I don't love it, but I'm really good at it now.

I use the paragraph symbol all the time... this shows me all the spacing, types of returns, etc and is the only way I use Word in a professional arena. Everyone hates to sit and type on my computer because they see all these dots and marks that they're not used to. Keeps them off my machine!

Hi... I am using Abiword which is i think the best fit for my work. I am using it since the last year and didn't felt anything missing. I need only for basic writing interface and it has what i was looking for. I also know the fact that there are many other programs which are far better than this one but i just like it because of its simple to use interface. Thanks to a blog post at www.wordprocessorfree.com from where i had picked up this tool as there were few such programs reviewed. |

I'll age myself, a floppy disc word processer with a one line screen, word perfect, and now word.
I dabble in pages for mac, but don't really care for it unless it's a one page letter, anything with real formatting I will use word.
