I have a chromebook. I wish to submit letters/articles to a journal. We are now asked to submit such things in a Word document. I'm aware not everyone has Microsoft Word as such, wondered if there is a way of getting round this. £5.99 per month for Microsoft Word just to be able to submit a letter is out of the question. Any idea's please?.
