I can't really afford Microsoft word, even the student addition :p

I am not happy with Open Office because it is very slow to open. (http://www.openoffice.org)

Can anyone recommend free software that I could use? :geek:

The best alternative (at least free) is the Open Office.

I have Office 2003 Professional and the latest Open Office. The Open Office programs open faster than MS Office on my Win 7 64 bit system.

Okay, I'll stick with Open Office. Do you know if it comes in a 64bit version? :geek:

Open office is much faster than MS Office. I suggest you to use it. :)

Writer isn't bad, and it's free. I just wish it was friendly with speach.
