What word processor do you use, lit?
>>
I use a typewriter like a normal human being.
>>
>>8263106
microsoft wordpad
not sure why I should use something different
>>
What the fuck question is this? Why would I know which Word version my professor uses? Probably Word 2007.
>>
>>8263106
Notepad, anything else is cancer

>>8263739
what's the appeal of notepad?
>>
Notepad, openoffice, scrivener, google docs, and when in a pinch, whatever the fuck the word processor on my phone is called.

simple and light. I don't use it for heavy writing, but as a place to pour out all my recent thoughts before I organize them into proper notes.

i've been using google docs because i like that it automatically saves to my drive and i don't have to worry about losing files as much.

why do you regret using google docs?

>>8264035
so you use different word processors for different purposes?
>>
man I can't even get wordpad to have decent linebreaks
>>
I use ed because it's the standard text editor.

pretty much.

Notepad/phone/random pieces of paper are for new ideas since I'll forget anything I haven't written down after 10 minutes. Google docs is for the rare occasion I am writing on a computer that isn't mine like at school. Openoffice is my just write processor. No distractions, not even my notes for the very scene I'm writing.

Scrivener is what I use for editing. It has a nice format to keep track of all your ideas, though the word processor itself is pretty basic. That said, I find it very easy to compare what I have written with what my notes intended so I can fix any discrepancies or contradictions. Also helps for making sure my scenes are consistent with one another. All in one program for convenience.

I don't believe this system is necessary for everyone that it is the best one. This one just so happens to work for me for whatever reason.

>>8264183
my own hand writing makes me sick. Besides, cursive is for losers of a bygone age anyway.
>>
>>8263739
this and only this.

i you can write with those programs full of icons and features im sure your writing is shit.

Why not just pirate office at that point, or did you actually buy the gold key?

Either way based chinks nonetheless for coming closest to making a true office clone

Just jokes, junior. WPS+ ran on VAX/VMS back in the day. Ain't seen a $ prompt in 20 years or so.
