Top 7 Free Word Processing Softwares:

  • Openoffice is the first software which comes into your mind when you think of Microsoft Office’s replacement in your computer; I use it while I am using  any Linux version and it works great out there. Even in Windows its works superb. So, if you don’t want to pay Microsoft then you must consider this office suite.
  • AbiWord allows you to collaborate with multiple people on one document at the same time. It is tightly integrated with the AbiCollab.net web service, which lets you store documents online, allows easy document sharing with your friends, and performs format conversions on the fly.
  • Jarte: A free word processor based on the Microsoft WordPad word processing engine built into Windows. Fast starting, easy to use word processor that expands well beyond the WordPad feature set. A small, portable word processor whose documents are fully compatible with Word and WordPad.
  • SSuite Office :It is only 12 MB in size. Nice and small. Their software also don’t need to run on Java or .NET, like so many open source software, so it makes their software very small and efficient.
  • EasyOffice: EasyOffice+PDF Filter is an office suite compatible with Microsoft Word and Excel and Adobe PDF files. The download also includes EasyAntiVirus, which you can install if you don’t have an anti-virus program. Unlimited anti-virus updates are offered at no extra charge.
  • IBM Lotus Symphony is a suite of applications for creating, editing, and sharing text, spreadsheet, presentations and other documents, and is currently distributed as freeware. First released in 2007, the suite has a name similar to the 1980s DOS suite Lotus Symphony, but the two programs are otherwise unrelated.

  1. I would just like to add a correction, the link to “SSuite Office” should be:
    { http://www.ssuitesoft.com/wordgraph.htm }

    This link will take you to the right web page for WordGraph. :)

  2. Open office is the best! Also, I tried Jarte. Since MS Word doc format is the de facto standard in the business world, compatibility with it is the most important feature for me. My first test for Jarte was to open up a Word 2003 document that had some graphics in it. Jarte could only load the text but not the images.
    Cheers!
