So like many Windows users, I use Microsoft Word to do any and all typing (with the except of needing to use Notepad++ for coding and other things). Recently I did some cleaning up, removing programs, etc and I thought about why I keep MS Office. It's pretty huge considering all I need it to do is type some things in a clean, professional presentation, and probably use Powerpoint to create slideshows every once in a while. It was Google time! I found 3 programs that are possible to be compared to Word: AbiWord, OpenOffice (obviously), and LyX.
Personally I don't like OpenOffice too much because it's large and because I think it still needs java to do anything. I don't know about AbiWord and LyX, they looked tiny and were capable of doing what you can do on Word.


Has anyone used any other word processing programs other than Word? Talk cajones!
