Your favorite writing program is ?

What program do you love to use when writing and why?

I thought it might be beneficial for people to discuss what they use to create and why.

For me, it's Mac's Pages. It's a blend between a word processor and design program.

I can open/export Word files and PDFs in it and I use it to create my e-books, newsletters, feature articles, etc.

Back in the day, before Pages 08 (I used 09 now), I used Word always. If you have a Mac, Pages is actually much better when you learn how to use it.

If I were a Windows user, I'd go Word all the way.

Because I'm an idiot, I think I closed the poll LOL.

Discuss (not me being an idiot).

 

notepad does it for me.

 

I use Word for my everyday use. I tried using Open Office but Word 2007 have better features that I like.

When I don't want to get distracted, DarkRoom works like a charm. I feel like Doogie Howser writing entries on my diary.

 

When I was younger, I used to watch that show all the time.

BTW, looks like the poll is working.

 

notepad ++ for programing

and word for writing

 

Google docs! I can work on my articles anywhere and save them and continue writing very easily.

 

Notepad++ and EditPlus for programing.
Word for writing.
Also use notepad.

 

I use word. I'm not a Microsoft fan but my main client keeps on asking for submissions in Word. Her preference has made me unable to learn how to use other writing programs

 

I've been using Microsoft Word for many years now. I use Word to write all my material; articles, books, advertisements and everything else.

Initially, I wasn't very happy with the user interface changes in Word 2007. Now, after using it for a few months, I can't imagine going back to any of the previous versions.

Your poll is working and you can go back to being perfect.

 

Microsoft Word ...I really don't use it much...but that's what come on this new computer I bought for video editing

 

Word. To your mother.

 

Open office works just fine for me. Best of all, it's free.

 

Ah, feels so good.

 

Open office gives me a better experience while writing content and articles....

 

microsoft office 07 would get my vote if u have an option

 

I am a big fan of OpenOffice because of its portability and the fact that it can use Microsoft formats without costing me an arm, leg, kidney, and kneecap. If I just need to scribble a quick note though, it's Notepad (or Notepad+).

I've also been known to use VI, but that's a different story altogether...lol.

 

I am very comfortable writing my work in MS word. I find it very good and convenient, helping me keep my writing nice and clean!

I still prefer Word for most of my writing. Went with Office 2007 early this year, hated it, and reverted back to 2003. The new interface was a royal pita.

 

using pages most time because it's running on my macbook and I can open all files with it ....
