Writing Software,for CV's for example....

[BaldBaBoon]

Been Searching and I cannot find this,so maybe someone could help.

My system is a Windows Vista 64bit,and at some point when the computer was going through a stroppy stage I lost all the word processor programs on it......no problem at first at is was primarily a games machine.


Now I am doing a fair bit of writing,or trying to.Most of the return documents I am getting from companies in response to my CV's are in the DOC. form.....they come up in complete gibberish in WORDPAD/NOTEBOOK which appears to be the only writing software left on my computer.

Can anyone suggest a writing software hopefully for free from Cnet downloads for example that can enable me to see DOC.templates and such and actually send a letter back in the same format?

Nothing flashy....just being able to see the documents and write.

Thanks.

Openoffice Free and just as good as Microsoft Office suite.

If you use google docs you can upload a word document and then edit it in a word like application in your browser. Sign up for a free google account. Your documents are stored online.

Alternatively download 'Open Office' which is an open source application suite giving most of the Office functionality.
