    Open Office. I have a trial of office 2007 which I sandbox open whenever I need to use it, keeps it at 30 days.

    Lyx for math, OO for rest, Abiword is excellent if all one needs is a WP, it handles all formats with ease, even more than OO.

    I use Microsoft Word 2007, because of it's user-friendly interface. The tabs makes it much easier and time-efficient to make documents.
    And the polls don't lie :D

    Office 2007 on most computers. As an alternative I also have AbiWord.

    what people use and what people think are the best are two different things.
    ms word 07 is probably the best based on features but in my opinion open office is the one to go for since it is a free package of word/draw/math/impress and more which are similar to the ms office package but free.
    also it is totally compatible with ms office and most word processors

    I'm surprised at the results. Mostly I use MS Wordpad, occasionally MS Office XP.

    So no one uses Wordpad any more?

    WordPerfect X3. WP is especially well-suited for preparing legal pleadings.

    The Guide. It is very different from all the aforementioned and can be used for adding trees on the left side.

    Microsoft office 2003: I generally need only Word, Excel and Power Point, and 2003 is perfect for me. :)

    I use Jarte Pro. It is easy to use; it integrates in it my dictionary, WordWeb Pro, my thesaurus, Mobysaurus Thesaurus, and an online encyclopedia, Wikipedia. I only have to push a button to open them. WordWeb Pro also opens when I select a world to look up and Control and RightClick. In the Jarte Pro you can program the dictionary , thesaurus, and encyclopedia buttons. The free Jarte you can't.

    Check out Jarte and Jarte Pro, unless you work in a corporate office you will never use a Microsoft processor again.

    Before Jarte I used Rough Draft; it's also a good word processor. Either is one is better than Word for most folk. They are not bloated with the bells and whistle that you don't use or need. Writers should use Jarte or Rough Draft.

    I have many productivity software installed. As for Word processors, I use the following, in order of frequency: Windows built-in (Wordpad, Notepad) and OpenOffice's Writer.
