Free Word Processor - No Strings Attached!
Google Documents is a free online word processor which I have used for over a year with excellent results. There are no hidden costs, and no ads that I have seen. You do need to make a Google account, but that is free as well (and it also makes commenting on this blog even easier!).
For students, this is an excellent, free alternative to the expensive word processing programs which families do not always have. You must be online to use Google Documents, but that is the only disadvantage I have found.
For students working on a group project, you can also share documents so other group members can edit them as well.
