Solved Can anybody recomend a Microsoft Word Alternative?
I can't really afford Microsoft word, even the student addition
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?

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?
