I read about it in a science world magazine a while back. It can save files in microsoft word format. I need it for a windows millennium computer.

Hi there

I agree that OpenOffice is the way to go, but rather than the latest version they are promoting, try using version 2.3.1 for your "windows millennium computer."

It should be just the ticket.

Check out an Apple User Group near you

There are a number of free word processors that are compatible with Microsoft Word.

OpenOffice Writer - http://openoffice.org/
AbiWord - http://abisource.com/

Google Docs is also compatible, but isn't a download.
