For fast no-nonsense writing with a minimal risk of corrupting documents,
WordPad -- which comes with Vista -- does the job quite nicely. Start - All Programs - Accessories - WordPad. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Nomad" wrote in message ...

Your request is a bit crass in my opinion.

I think Word 2003 home Edition is sufficient for your work. Word 2007 is a recent version whereas 2003 is old as well as very stable. -- Pranav Vaidya VBA Developer PN, MH-India If you think my answer is useful, please rate this post as an ANSWER!!

Which program is best to write a novel with
Word is your best bet saved as version 2003/97. I have written a couple of
novels in Word Perfect, but most agents and publishers want soft copies in Word format. I had to convert the large file (133,000 words) to Word and then go through and manually change the chapter headings and most punctuation marks which printed out as letters or other characters. If I had known that Word would be the lingua franca I would have strated there. Save as 2003 or earlier since not all users have 2007. |
