My word processors

When I type texts, I use TextEdit for about 9 out of 10 texts. It is fast and functional and provides reasonably well formatted files that can be read on both Mac, Windows and Unix.

I use JEdit X for texts where I need to count the number of words.

I use Google Docs for documents I change from different locations.

I use MS Word for texts in Japanese for the ability to use furigana and vertical script.

And once in a while I also use NeoOffice to open documents in unusual formats.

It also happens that I use Pages, but that is only for the rare cases where the layout is more important than the content.
