Well, I've noted this before and gotten negative responses, but I'm doing some extensive typing on my Galaxy Tab lately and looking for the best Word Processor to do it in? I've tried DocsToGo and it works but it is difficult to use the edit mode quickly, text selection is a real challenge, there's no on-the-fly spellcheck and no representation of my document relative to an 8.5x11 as in Word.

With that behind I tried OfficeSuite Pro. So far this is the best I've found but it doesn't have the visual page breaks like DocsToGo and it still lacks on-the-fly spellcheck and a sort of print preview or any indication of how long my document is in terms of pages. I can certainly live with this program if it's the best out there but I wanted to ask you lot if anything better exists before I settle?

Thanks for your time!

Have you tried Google Docs? The mobile view is very basic, but if you try clicking the link at the bottom of the page you can view your document in Desktop mode which has many word processing features...

That would likely work perfectly for most everything (though I haven't tried it, I'm going off your description and what I know of it from others) but I need something that's available offline as I only use my Tab with WiFi and don't always have a connection available. I assume Google Docs requires an open Internet connection?

Thanks for the tip!

You know, that actually came installed on my Tab. I honestly didn't give it a try because I thought it was only the free Viewer app. In all honesty, if it had support for manual page breaks, I would say it's the winner in my book. As it stands, manual page breaks are a must and I couldn't find them there. So far, OfficeSuite Pro still looks to be on top but that was a bang-up recommendation!

Is there such a thing as a mobile word processor with a spell checker? I haven't seen that any of these programs have one? I guess OpenOffice/Word have spoiled me.

Thanks,
