[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1069047, member: 140470"] Like Windows with its Notepad, Macs do come with a free basic text writing program. It's called TextEdit and can be found in your Applications folder. It is a basic word processing program but it does allow you to choose between plain text and rich text formatting and if you didn't already know Macs have PDF creation function built into the OS. This means that just about any program can save as a PDF. If you want to do some more advance word processing then you will need to try out some of the programs Nick has listed. If you are looking for something similar to the feel of Microsoft Office then you should try out OpenOffice. OpenOffice can also save in Word .doc format also. [/QUOTE]
