My microsoft word crapped out on me, now im stuck using wordpad.
Any free word processors out there that will save the file under the same format as WORD?

Yes, just check ZD Net for a great range. However, the ability to be totally MS Word compatible is hard. If it is a straight vanilla file no extras, for sure, many have the RTF file type but in Office 2003, and especially Office 2007, the compatibility issue will be severe. I hope someone will deliver one that does, but the changes are so different it will be a challenge

Check out the Google word processor - it will save in word format according to the web page.

in case you're searching for a loose microsoft word option, get openoffice. It has spread sheets, files base, draw, word processor, each little thing that microsoft word and microsoft workplace has and better section is that it truly is loose.

Supposedly a free program called Open Office will. I have it, but haven't learned how to use it yet.

Do you have the program CD?

Hey Dude,
I use open office ALL the time. It is great, and in many ways much better.

If you use word, this will be no problem.

I think OpenOffice has the ability to read and write Word (.Doc) files.
