 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Jeanne RE: Writing program   Dear Webby, I am going to have to do a lot of writing, mostly history of me and my family. The problem is, I don't have the money for Microsoft Office or any other expensive programs. What do you use and recommend? Jeanne  Dear Jeanne For the last 30 or 40 years I have used NoteTab. http://notetab.com So far I am using probably 10% of it's capabilities. You have a clipboard for frequently used stuff, and can have a whole bunch of files in tabs, just like browsers have nowadays. NoteTab is strictly for text, but with text it is extremely fast. If you have to add pictures, then I would recommend Open Office or Office Libre, which is pretty well the same as Microsoft office, except it is free. It has a WRITER (Like MS Office WORD). You can easily write a book with it, with illustrations. Have FUN! DearWebby
