Which word processing application?

1. State what you do (type of employment, student, etc.)
2. State what word processing application you use

 

1. Profession: IT consultant in electronic document management.
2. Use: Word. Mainly because of it's easy integration w/ other Apps (ie, VBA) and consistant interface w/ other MS Apps.

My first job was a trainer, teaching alot of WP (5.1/6.0 for DOS, 5.2/6.0 for Windows). WP, once you learned how to use the hidden codes, was alot more intuitive than dealing with Word and how it used Sections. I would occasionally teach WP>Word migration classes, and people always had a tough time with it. Even today, though Word is much more prevalent in the corporate environment, the formatting of documents (if you look at how styles are applied and sections used in the documents) that come across my desk is absolutely horrible, mostly because most people can't understand how Word is applying formatting to the document.

I've been using WP for years and i found it to be less complicated and buggy than MW.

2. Open Office because im poor and love the compatability with Word. Also desktop uses both word and OO because dad thinks OO is bad....

 

1) student
2) word because i need the rest of the office package ,because sometimes there are problems between OO en office . and that is very annoying during presentation in school

 

1) Student and part-time C# programmer. Mainly for writing reports and other "serious" documents

2) LaTeX all the way!
So much more powerful than Word, and with, a bit of experience, easier to use. Especially when collaborating with others, it's a dream to work with, compared to Word, which involves either letting one person edit the file at a time, or write independently and then copy/paste everything together.
And the results just look more professional.
I can recommend it, especially for writing school/college reports and such. (Most of your textbooks are probably written with it anyway)

(Oh, and it has a fun name, and it's free )

 

1) Student
2) Open Office. I mean, come on! It's free!

2) Open Office because I'm a big fan of freeware/open source, and well, I'm kinda cheap...

2. OpenOffice -> Kubuntu

 

I used to work with WordPerfect. I loved it, and as the years progressed, I need ed to share the documents with people who used Word. It was a pain - sadly, I switched over to Microsoft.

There was no avoiding it. It was inevitable. One day when all college and upcoming (far in future) grad school is over, I can go to Corel or OpenOffice.

Currently: Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Beta

it was the last version that i paid for, it runs so much cleaner simply by virtue of being older, and gets the job done.

 

1. Printshop sysadmin, soon to be programming student
2. Abiword, but I want to learn tex. Don't feel alone Jalf!

Actually I usually just use vi.
Hehe, a buddy just started grad school at Indiana. All his profs expect assignments to be done in tex.

 

One of the first things instructors told us when we started at university was "You can hand in assignments written in Word, we'll just subtract 1 or 2 points from your grade"

They were joking... I think. But the message was clear: Just learn TeX.
So we did. Haven't looked back.
