All you could download is either the Word viewer or a trial version. The
trial version is only good for 60 days and is a huge download. If you
qualify, you might want to check into purchasing the Student and Teachers
version of Office. Otherwise, the least expensive way to get Word is in the
Works Suite.

Do you want MS Word, a word processor made by Microsoft?
Or do you want a word processor, no matter who wrote it?
If you really, really don't want to pay for "a" word processor, you can
download OpenOffice: http://openoffice.org. There are more important
reasons to use OpenOffice. Money is the least important reason.
I only give you this suggestion because you explicitly write you want
to download which implies you don't want to pay for it. If you do want
to spend money, please buy Microsoft Word.

Or, WordPad might suffice, too, especially if he's a
newbie to word pocessing. But if he needs the "full"
Word feature set, OpenOffice won't provide it; he'll
need Word, unfortunately.
That's not a dig at OpenOffice, Write, or any of the
open sources; I wanted to use OO, but, well, not yet
<g>.

99% of what people *use*, is also provided by OpenOffice 2.0
99% of what people *need*, is also provided by WordPad.
Ergo it's the remaining 1% that we see here regularly in the
newsgroups.

Hmmm, I thinks them thar numbers is a teeny bit skewed
<g>, but:
good observation, and one that's easy to forget.

Rumor has it that 51% of Amedee's stats are made up.
