Harshaw

Ok, I'm probably reaching at straws here, but I <b> hate </b> MS Word. It is pretty much worthless. I'm hoping there is a program out there (free, or close to it) that works like word only better. Any ideas? Anything that I can type on but still save it as a word file for printing on other printers?

Anything...

Abiword is pretty good.
You should also check Open Office

My vote is for Open Office or Star Office

Checkout OpenOffice.org. It's like MS Office, only free

OpenOffice.org is great. And if you're in the educational sector (i.e. a student) you can download StarOffice - basically a proprietary version of OpenOffice.org - <a href="http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/edu/solutions/staroffice.html#StarOffice">for free!</a>

I'm also a fan of abiword, but that's only a word processor, and to be honest OO.o is winning me over more and more every time I use it.
