I feel a fool. It's on a sticker on the back. ;-)

Works is horrible unless it comes with a full blown copy of Word -
albeit normally an older version.
Have you considered Open Office?

Similar to a complete Office suite but open source and therefore
completely free. I use it on a couple of my Linux machines and it does
the job.

I'll not use it much if at all. I use Publisher Plus on my Acorn for any
documents I need. If I have to send anything electronically I do it using
an open file standard. Like PDF.
