Have you seen that movie? Eric Roberts, James Earl Jones, Phillip Rhee–it’s kind of a classic . . . well from the eighties. Anyway, Omar and I are starting our Best of the Best series with a tool that is quite useful: word processing programs. Microsoft Word is no doubt the Best of the Best; however, things have changed in the past five years. Now there are more than a few free and decent options out there that do more than just let you change the font and the color. Now, Omar and I are going to break it down for you.
Over the past two weeks we are going to be looking at the following programs, reviewing them, and giving you a break down of their features, and then ultimately giving you the winner.
- Google Docs (online only)
- Zoho Writer (online only)
- Office Web Apps (from Microsoft & online only)
- Neo Office (Mac and download only)
- Open Office (download only)
Again, these are all free so follow the links, try them for yourself, and drop us your opinion on each.
