I'm not sure if the link will register properly here -- fingers crossed: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2260070,00.asp Ah, ha! There it is. That will make things simpler for anyone searching for these files. ALSO, Debra, check out Zoho and ThinkFree -- for online word processors with strong .doc/rtf file support. Zoho even has a "trick" that allows one to tie tiles within Word to the Zoho website. You can search this blog for Zoho -- I think I have given more detail about this before. Different people rank these online word processors differently. In the past few months, I've seen major computer magazines ranks each of the three mentioned here, including Google Docs, as the clear top choice. Guess everyone just needs to check them all to see what works best. PC MAGAZINE has just posted the Freeware article, with links to all the good stuff.

I love when it's the weekend and I actually have time to check them out. Anything that makes my fulltime writing job easier gets my vote! What a terrific list you’ve given us!
