Something better than word?

Word's spellcheck sucks and I suck at typing. Bad combination. Is there anything better?


Thanks 😀
 
abiword?
OpenOffice.org?

I don't know if they are better then word is in terms of spell checking, but you can try them out, they are free.

OpenOffice.org is a attempt at creating a open source alternative to MS Office. It's free, it user interface is designed to be familar to MS Office users and it incorporates a full office production suite: Spreadsheet, word proccessing, powerpoint-style presentation, etc etc.

Office can be a bit of a pain because you have to install seperate dictionaries and stuff based on your language, or something like that. But I think that it's worth the extra effort to get a big dictionary aviable to you for spell checking and looking up stuff.

Abiword on the otherhand is a small executable, very fast, and is designed just for Word proccessing. It's not a entire bunch of programs like O😵rg and is pretty slick.

Both are free (no-cost and open source) software.
 
"Better" is a matter of opinion but I dumped MS Office in favour of Open Office a while ago.
