On the whole, I'm rather impressed with this software. I have a problem when writing text documents though. Every now and then a little red wedge or arrow appears that points to the right. Rather than returning down to the next line when the above line fills, the text continues (out of sight) on that line beyond the edge of the page into the ether.

I now can't get rid of the stupid little arrow. I will be saving the document as a Word .doc for someone else to open and am worried that the conversion will do something odd.

Help! If someone could explain which combination of keys I accidentally pressed to get it, I will be able to avoid in the future.

Thanks.
 
I have used it in the past, but not lately. Could it be some word wrap function that needs activating?
 
Think I'll save up for Word. The file I have just re-opened bears no resemblance to the one I had saved. In a word, rubbish.
 
Have you tried Abiword?
Again, it doesn't have the polish of proper MS word, but it's free and it works much better than Writer.
Google docs is pretty cool as well, if you've got a decent internet connection.

Just install the 2007 demo and never close it or turn your computer off.

or use google docs for now. http://docs.google.com



or pop to your local torrent site for a more easier to deal with test drive.
