Haven't tried it lately, but a few months ago I used the word processor and 
was a bit disappointed. Although allegedly compatible with Word it came up 
with different formatting when you opened it up in Word. I couldn't take 
the risk of using it for e-mailing a job application, not knowing exactly 
how it would appear at the other end. Couldn't find a way of paginating 
documents, either. But you certainly can't complain about the price, and 
with some improvements it could be a  goer. A warning if you try it. The 
uninstall part didn't remove all the associated paraphernalia: a bit of 
manual tweaking was necessary to get rid of the leftovers.

Signing off in a few days for a while for a move to a new job in 
Queensland, but looking forward to reconnecting to Link from a new location 
soon.
