Free Word Processing or Office Programs for Windows
« on: March 01, 2015, 04:57:20 PM »
I am looking for a free word processing or office program to run in Windows XP.  I would like to avoid a Java Program so Libre and Open (Apache) Office are out.

Does anyone have any suggestions for just simple home use?

Thanks

There is an easy hack for Libre Office to SQL: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38811&redirected_from=fdo
Libre Office is being brought to be python based, see: http://en.libreofficeforum.org/node/7170
Java QA only. Rewriting of the fax/letter/agenda/web/report/form/table wizards in Python is now complete
Merge filter (FCFGMerge) and utils replaced with Python equivalent.

I have no java installed on my OS, Libre Office 4.3 works fine.

I've seen these over at PortableApps.com:

AbiWord Portable
http://portableapps.com/apps/office/abiword_portable

BabelPad Portable
http://portableapps.com/apps/office/babelpad-portable

FocusWriter Portable
http://portableapps.com/apps/office/focuswriter_portable

Jarte Portable
http://portableapps.com/apps/office/jarte-portable

I've never tried them myself, so I have no idea how good they are or aren't.  You can check them out to see if they suit your needs.

Use Kingsoft Office Suite. It's got the whole lot. Word, Excel, and powerpoint. Best thing about this program is that it's compatible with MS office suite program and it's free http://www.kingsoftstore.com/kingsoft-office-freeware.html
