A little help, please · 8:32am Jul 7th, 2012
I need to find a free, perhaps just browser-based word processing program. The computer I normally use for that is... just... let me put it this way, minor errors and annoyances are what i consider to be lucky breaks. I've had two files corrupted and in need of hand-correction. So I need something I can do from my laptop with available corrections and a dictionary. I'm gonna miss using Works, but I can't deal with that computer anymore.

Google docs might help
Open office, it's a free download that works for pretty much anything.

Yeah, definately LibreOffice. Fully featured doesn't even begin to describe it.
I have to agree - libre office if you cannot into gdocs.
Google docs is web-based so that works, but I know it and Fimfic can have some formatting issues. Open Office is Microsoft Office but open-source and I know it works (plus it can save a file in all the formats I can think of). I've never used this LibreOffice, but it looks to be similar to Open Office.
I think a lot of your problems just stemmed from using the terrible program that is Works, I think the only way to use a worse word processor is Word Perfect.
I can mail you a copy of Office 2010 if you want; I have a couple of Home and Student copies lying around, and a version for Mac as well.

Having weighed the options and having had hassles with Gdocs in the past, I thnk I will be going with LibreOffice. I'll install it later today.
