Free Word Processing
February 18 Tom Roule will present a free word processing program from Abi Word. This processing program will do most things that Microsoft programs will do. A disc of the download will be available for you to use in installing on your computer. It is important to know that many new computers arrive with a trial version of Microsoft processing. The invitation to pay to continue use is next. This class on Abi Word will give you a free option for a word processing program.
