LibreOffice is a fork of Apache OpenOffice, and the two offer very similar word processing apps, but LibreOffice receives more frequent updates and has a more lively userbase, so we're inclined to lean in its favor. The word processor, Writer, is a feature-packed analog of Microsoft Word, packed with all the tools you could need for any text-based work. The word processors also work together with the other office software in their respective suites — so you can use Base to create a bibliography, for example.
Both word processors support all the most popular file formats, and can export documents to PDF without the need for additional software.
This free word processor looks and behaves almost exactly like its premium counterpart, and even has its own equivalent of OneDrive, offering 1GB free cloud storage. Its selection of pre-installed templates gives you everything you need for common document types, and you can easily create your own for bespoke tasks. As the name implies, FocusWriter blocks out all distractions so you can give that all-important first draft your full attention.
TextMaker — the word processing element of SoftMaker FreeOffice — is good looking, and comes with several handy templates for creating letters and other everyday documents.
The only real drawback of TextMaker is its inability to save your work in DOCX format though you can open and edit these files with no difficulty. This feature is limited to the premium version of SoftMaker Office. WriteMonkey is another no-frills word processor designed to help you maximize your output without fussing with editing and formatting.
