I use a typewriter like a normal human being.

microsoft wordpad
not sure why I should use something different

What the fuck question is this? Why would I know which Word version my professor uses? Probably Word 2007.

>>8263106
Notepad, anything else is cancer

what's the appeal of notepad?

Notepad, openoffice, scrivener, google docs, and when in a pinch, whatever the fuck the word processor on my phone is called.

simple and light. I don't use it for heavy writing, but as a place to pour out all my recent thoughts before I organize them into proper notes.

>>8264023
My post was mere jest but I agree with what >>8264035 said

I use open office but it's so damn unstable

>>8263106
Transitioned from Microsoft Word to Google Docs and it was the worst decision of my life

I started using latex and it's comfy

Jarte / Q10

>>8264070
i've been using google docs because i like that it automatically saves to my drive and i don't have to worry about losing files as much.

why do you regret using google docs?

>>8264035
so you use different word processors for different purposes?

man I can't even get wordpad to have decent linebreaks

I use ed because it's the standard text editor.

>not just writing words on paper

pretty much.

Notepad/phone/random pieces of paper are for new ideas since I'll forget anything I haven't written down after 10 minutes. Google docs is for the rare occasion I am writing on a computer that isn't mine like at school. Openoffice is my just write processor. No distractions, not even my notes for the very scene I'm writing.

Scrivener is what I use for editing. It has a nice format to keep track of all your ideas, though the word processor itself is pretty basic. That said, I find it very easy to compare what I have written with what my notes intended so I can fix any discrepancies or contradictions. Also helps for making sure my scenes are consistent with one another. All in one program for convenience.

I don't believe this system is necessary for everyone that it is the best one. This one just so happens to work for me for whatever reason.

my own hand writing makes me sick. Besides, cursive is for losers of a bygone age anyway.

>>8263739

why do you use a type writer? I have one which I use to write letters, better if I make a mistake I feel like I have to restart.

Have fun when the iluminati publishes your work before you can, dumbasses

Anyone not using a tex compiler or a typewriter is a cuck

Office Libre. Don't really miss MS Word as much as I thought I would.

Latex

>>8266321
Why not just pirate office at that point, or did you actually buy the gold key?

Either way based chinks nonetheless for coming closest to making a true office clone

>>8266556
Just jokes, junior. WPS+ ran on VAX/VMS back in the day. Ain't seen a $ prompt in 20 years or so.
The Gold Key tradition continues....

LibreOffice

>>8263106
MSWORD if I writing a report.
Notepad for writing ideas, pointers and outlines.
Google Docs if either I'm on phone or I'm editing an online backup of a document.
