Buzzing on Buzzword

As a writer by trade I have a habit of try­ing every word-processor I can get my hands on. For day to day work, I still use Word – although a heav­ily cus­tomised stripped back ver­sion. But I have this per­pet­ual feel­ing that there’s a bet­ter option out there. Of course, today, there are more options than ever before (even for a Mac user).

So to date I’ve tried a vari­ety of desk­top options:

  • Word – good but bloated
  • OpenOf­fice and its Mac vari­ant NeoOf­fice – pretty much as good as Word if not quite as pretty (and still pretty bloated)
