What is the standard writing application for a Compaq laptop?
I have a Compaq laptop, not sure which one, and I have been trying to find the writing application for a while now. If anyone has a tutorial on how to get to it, or something like that it would be gratefully accepted. I just don't know if I have to buy Office 2010 to write things.

Under all versions of Windows, you can find WordPad under the Start->Programs->Accessories menu. That's a low end word processor, without all the bells and whistles of MS Word. If you want MS Word, your best bet is to buy the Home & Student version of Office.

You could always use notepad or wordpad, those come built in to windows. If you don't want to buy a program, openoffice or googledocs are free. http://docs.google.com http://www.openoffice.org/

All versions of Windows include a very simple word processor called Wordpad. It is usually listed under the "Accessories" in the Start menu, or by typing "wordpad.exe" into the Run box on the start menu. You do not have to purchase a copy of Office 2010 unless you want to make Bill Gates richer. Go to http://openoffice.org and download the free clone of Office 2010 called Open Office. It has been around for several years and is able to open, edit, and create all the file formats used by Office 2010. A file created with Open Office can be saved in a format that is identical to the one used by Office 2010 and no one can tell the difference.
