Hmmm....Maybe I'll try Abiword.

Don't listen to quiller.  He has no clue what he's talking about.

About Abiword? That it's not a small footprint word processor capable of all but the more complex tasks?

PROVE ME WRONG.

I have had no experience with Mac products, so I can't offer further ideas on that score, other than....

Abiword for PC has worked flawlessly for me, for about six years now. The sole drawbacks for me are the heading codes (H1, H2) which cannot be added to a document (but can be adjusted in Word, even from .RTF).

Your inaccurate post about LibreOffice being limited, and your perpetual implication that LO is some inferior application.  It is a very small market share, but that doesn't equate to a few fringe users.  It had 25mm downloads last year.  Also, unless you're on the latest and greatest 8.1 Office, you aren't even in the conversation about LO vs MSO, because LO completely dominates anything you were using before Win 7.

You can't even watch youtube videos without your machine contracting AIDS.  Why should he listen to you?

Use LibreOffice like tens of millions of others, like myself, are doing.  I promise there is nothing you're doing in Word that you can't do in LO. 

Here's what quiller sees when he boots up:

I got it on my MAC and on the WIN8 laptop.

How do you like it?  Personally, I don't like it very much.  After I saw Mac Pages, it ruined me.  Have you used Pages?

I have a comment directed at every geek who infests this particular forum.

When I boot up, I see Win-7 standard desktop. Whatever image that was, I've never seen it.

Next time try a little truth in your put-downs, Taxed. And don't ever think I will run out of images before you do.

Sorry quiller.  I thought you were the one who can't open Youtube videos.  I had you mixed up with someone else.

I can open them. It's when they distract me all day that's the problem.....
