Sorry I’m late posting today! I completely forgot until this morning.
The awesome co-hosts for the July 3 posting of the IWSG are JS Pailly, Rebecca Douglass, Pat Garcia, Louise-Fundy Blue, and Natalie Aguirre! July 3 question - What are your favorite writing processing (e.g. Word, Scrivener, yWriter, Dabble), writing apps, software, and tools? Why do you recommend them? And which one is your all time favorite that you cannot live without and use daily or at least whenever you write? I have always used MS Word. It’s not that I recommend it or prefer it. It’s just comfortable, like broken-in fuzzy slippers. I know where to find every setting, feature, and formatting option. My ancient computer still has the old Word, from before subscriptions were required. When my beloved dinosaur someday crashes, I will have to find a new word processor, because I am NOT paying a monthly fee. My husband wants to get a Mac, so Pages is likely in my future. I’ve used Pages on an iPad, and it’s okay. Not as comfy as slippers, but perhaps a running shoe I could get used to.

I like Word for the same reasons as you do. I've heard other people say you can't just buy Word anymore. I'll have to keep using it as I need it for work. 7/3/2024 05:12:29 pm
If you end up on Windows, Open Office is a pretty similar interface. I don't know when, but I guess I eventually updated to Word 2021. I think I bought it on sale for like $5. Word is comfortable, but with my multi-POV brain, I needed a better organization system, which I found in yWriter. I don't think that's got a Mac version, though. 7/3/2024 07:59:21 pm
Microsoft Office suite is an annual fee, but the point is well taken. I hate that everything is by subscription, and I'm not all that sure I like updates, which go and change how things are done. 7/4/2024 09:23:20 am
Updates overestimate my learning skills, So does my IT husband. 7/4/2024 10:43:45 am
