Replacement for MS Word
Posted: March 25th, 2024, 4:27 pm
Hi,
My dad has a 12 year old Windows laptop originally with MS Word. He spent a lot of time creating a document of our family history and I set it up so he could use headings, numbered bullet points etc. He had a live copy on his laptop and backed it up onto a memory stick every so often.
Unfortunately he got taken in by some scammers who managed to get onto his laptop before my niece arrived and intervened. However, it left him locked out of the machine so he took it to PC world who flattened it and rebuilt it with a base Windows 12. No MS Office.
He has a smart phone and tablet, so the only use for this laptop now is just for this document. Therefore I would like to get this document restored, then disable Internet access so it's basically a stand alone machine.
So can someone recommend a free program that will run on a Windows machine, that doesn't require internet access? I don't really need to convert the .doc, just read it and I can manually change the headers etc.
thanks
Mick
