Word processing as it should be.It’s a word processor, not a nuclear reactorPerhaps the word processor you’ve been using has 100 times as many features as you need. Or it won’t work the way you want it to—too many views or too few, and nothing makes any sense. Or it looks as if it were designed back when computers displayed text in green letters on a black screen. Growly Write is something else entirely: fresh, capable, and simple. But not too simple.The range of documents you can create in Write is staggering: multiple columns, chapters with different layouts, pictures that flow with the text or pictures that text wraps around, drop caps, tables, lists, links within a document or to web pages, borders simple and complex, and a complete toolkit of text formats. But everything is easy to find.Plays well with othersWrite can import Microsoft Word files, but it does even better with RTF. Any of the popular picture formats, plus HTML, emails, clippings, and of course any of the dozens of plain text formats—all can be opened or dragged into Write documents. Write exports RTF, HTML for web pages, and plain text.Not for everyoneThere are many advanced word processing features you won’t find in Write. This is absolutely intentional: we’ve purposely excluded things that most people won’t use every day. If you’re looking for free-floating text boxes, footnotes, built-in drawing tools, macros, equation editors, automatic indexing, or complex document sharing tools, there are commercial products available that support all these and more. Or you might want to look at our Notes product.Write is intended for people with straightforward needs who want to create great-looking documents. There’s not one thing in Write that we haven’t used ourselves. If you’re tired of struggling with an app that makes rocket ships look simple, this might be the word processor for you.
