Answer 1

Free word processors: http://www.abisource.com/ Abiword very similar to Word

Jarte, free as well, has a unique easy to use interface: http://www.jarte.com/

Google has an apparently decent word processor which allows for collaboration which is decent if you have a friend or someone assisting you with your CV or anything you may be writing together but working from two or more different locations at the same time: http://www.boingboing.net/2006/08/20/google_launches_free.html

...and of course OpenOffice http://www.openoffice.org/ very much like Word as well, sometimes can be slow to load and newest version does still have a few bugs but nothing that will probably interfere with basic word processing.

A few places for tips and step by steps, hope they are helpful, good luck:

Answer 2

There are lots of websites (try www.monster.co.uk) that can help with designing a CV. If you have Windows, click on Start then Run and type 'wordpad' and press Enter. This is a very basic word processor that comes with Windows but it should be good enough for a CV.
