I have Ubuntu, What would be the equivalent to Win Word?

Question

I want to download what ever is just like "Word", but on Ubuntu. Thanx

Answer 1

Open Office



but it should've been installed when you put Ubuntu on your computer. odd....



just search for it in Synaptic. it's there. if it isn't checked in, then check it and install it.

Answer 2

open office writer - part of open office suite is half baked product

see my question that i posted here in answers

it is no match for word

use wine - windows emulator and run word in it - open office writer gets no serious job done and i'm writer

there is also koffice - never tried it but hopefully it is better than open office writer

Answer 3

Check out www.openoffice.org



It has word, excel and everything else you could need! It also allows you to open .docs as well as many other file extensions.



You can also use it for windows!
