word processer help
When i got my laptop a couple of years ago it came with microsoft works word processer. It had to be input a product key but never got around to it,
now it has expired and wont work. 
Can i get a word processer for free which will convert word docs?
Or can i get a converter which will let me view docs in lets just say Notepad?
Its a pain in the arse really as all i just need to do it change a few details on some docs that i have. 
Cheers locosters

LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice and includes a filter to read Works files.

another one for Open Office. It converts microsoft products and Lotus. 
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

I use Open Office on all my machines - Linux and Windoze - and it does everything I want. It isn't just a word processor - you also get
equivalents for Powerpoint, Excel and other stuff.

LibreOffice is the latest version of Openoffice.
The key point is the 'Libre'. They've split as there was a different philosophy in the development group. The guys who wanted to
keep it free made the Libre.
Therefore, these are the ones to support!!!
Cheers,
James
