I use Word & Excel mainly, and most of my own documents are set up as templates so I wouldn't want to rework them. I use Notepad to get rid of formatting in cut & paste jobs from documents sent to me with fancy formatting, or for content lifted off websites, and Metapad for more selective format removal. Some Word documents I receive are so full of 'elegant' formatting that they can't be edited as is, so stripping and reformatting is the simplest and fastest way forward. ATEOTD, you literally cannot tell the difference between my edited version and the original except for content changes, so who really needs to get that deep into fancy formatting? I send all my documents as PDFs anyway, so nobody can tell I'm a klutz at formatting Word, or Excel. :D Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)

If I want something fancy doneup I'll use InDesign :) and If I just want some basic text copied off a website and saved for later use I'll use Sublime Text which I spend most of my work day using anyway.

1374287	2014-05-08 07:17:00	I use MS Office at work (just been 'upgraded' to v2010). Word, Excel, Access and Outlook.	Jen (38)
1374288	2014-05-08 13:22:00	Everyone and everywhere I go where computers are used in a business, uses MS Office. I've had enough problems with docs over the years to stick to MS Office. Personally I enjoy trying out Open Office and others and just this evening set up Google Drive. But that is not work related. Very few people - even youth - seem to know about open source software. They just don't care.	Winston001 (3612)

Sharepoint with Word and document management with Outlook. We also generate Excel spreadsheet for accounts out of our Professional account software and Lync Enterprise for telephony, and Groove for file sync around the world. There is no way soon we will ever be using alternative productivity suites.... Oh, I just got a new position as a Network Engineer....!	SolMiester (139)
1374290	2014-05-11 10:10:00	I use Office 2013 at home. Used to use Office 2010. Got both very cheaply through my employers Home Usage program, something like $10 only for the full versions, if I recall. Despite the fact I much preferred Office 2010 over Office 2013, I still use them quite often. It's mainly because I use Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint at work, so I don't have to learn anything else when I use those same apps at home. ALso means I can email work docs home to work on, rather than having to bring my work laptop home. Office is fine for me, I really see no need to try something else. If I had to pay full price though my answer would be different!	Chikara (5139)

1374292	2014-05-12 01:53:00	I do have MS Office 2007 Home and Student but use eM Client for email. I have been dabbling with Textmaker.	Bobh (5192)
