I been trying out this free word processor and recommend it if you want something lightweight and easy to use. It is just a 3.5MB download and installs very quickly.

For many people it is quite adequate.. and the PDF features are a bonus. Open office requires 650 MB to install. It’s a heavyweight. AbleWord is lightweight.
My recommendation was for anyone that wanted a lightweight application that is easy to use. It more than fulfills both criteria -
