Hi:
Does anyone know if there is a good FREE word processing program available for Windows XP that would be like Microsoft Word?
Thanks,
Bob

Hi:
I checked it out. It says that it does not include an uninstaller. If I don't like the program, how do I uninstall it?
Thanks,

I believe XP has the capability to go back to a previous state. Remember the date you install the new program and you can go back to that machine state.Originally Posted by Bob Weisner

Make sure you go into XP's restore utility and set a restore point before you install OpenOffice. That way you can go back to the point just before install.
OO is a pretty good program (considering the cost) and it will probably do what you want if you are looking for a reasonable WP.

I almost forgot - there is a very powerful text program native to and inlcuded with XP called WordPad. You'll find it under Accessories. Give it a try, it may be all you need. You do have to know how to spell, 'cuz it doesn't have a built in spell checker.Originally Posted by Bob Weisner
