    open office is prob the best (and only?) free office suite, but i dont think you'll find much clip art included.

    maybe the internet can be used as a vast-but difficult to search-clip art library?

    Definitely would suggest OpenOffice as above (I think it is currently on either the PC PLus or Computer Shopper cover disks or can be downloaded). If you keep an eye on the free cover disks on various magazines then they often have something conmtain a free rpgoram with loads of clipart.

    An alternative is to look at one of the freeware download sites for a freebie word processor. Try googling 'freeware word processor' .. there are some good hits there.

If you are stuck then PM and I will have rummage in my drawers (oo, err missus).

    Apologies for the above repeats but there is something spooky happening on the site (or more than likely my PC) which means the edit box is not working for me)

    There's a link here for OpenOffice 2.2 http://www.computeractive.co.uk/vnunet/downloads/2128963/openoffice

    Just happened to know about this because I've recently used it myself.
