If the best word processor you have on your system is WordPad, you might want to consider downloading WordWright. Thanks to banner advertising, it's free. The program offers most of WordPad's functionality along with several extras that are usually found only in expensive word processors. You'll find a spelling checker; the ability to work with multiple documents at once; import filters for .rtf, .doc, HTML, and .txt formats; and export filters for .rtf, .doc, and .txt files. Other features include search and replace, undo/redo, easy image insertion, and a table editor. Plus, it provides support for justification, tabs, indents, hanging indents, and margin/page size adjustment. Despite a few rough edges, WordWright should make a nice addition to your system.
