A Little Lost

Rate this Entry
Ever feel lost after Christmas? I'm feeling a bit lost. This won't be up to my usual standard. I don't have Word to type in so I'm using Notepad. No spellcheck or paragraphs. I'm trying to get to grips with a new PC and, I have most of what I'd usually do sorted out. But now the thing that's really bugging me is that I don't have Word on it yet. I'm really starting to get that writing itch for my mad scientist project but I'm lazy. I like to have word to spellcheck and look up better words, it's quicker than using an actual dictionary. It's not just laziness. The speed and simplicity don't distract me too much so I can get back to writing as quickly as possible. I also type all my blog entries in word. So I'm feeling kind of lost withoug it. It seems that if I want Word I now have to do a yearly thing. I'm not eintirely sure I'm comfortable with that, but it seems I can't actually afford "lifetime" Word so I guess I shouldn't really complain. A more lively and detailed update will probably follow when I've got this all sorted out. Just checking in really because It's been bugging me since about Christmas Eve, when to write a blog?

    I use freeware Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice; both of which are rich in features you might be used to with Word. Until you can pony up for Word these would suit you well.

    The following link has both available for download:

    ... and a Lifehacker article: http://lifehacker.com/battle-of-the-...bre-1147940828

    Happy New Year !
