SoftMaker FreeOffice is a suite of office programs, and one of the included tools is a free word processor called TextMaker. It runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, and mobile devices ( iOS and Android). Writer is part of the WPS Office software, so you have to download the whole suite to get the Writer portion. You can also add custom dictionaries, read/write to popular file types, create a cover page and table of contents, use built-in templates, encrypt documents, and easily view all the pages of a document from a side pane. There's even a viewing mode to protect against eye damage, turning the background of the page into a greenish color. Writer supports full-screen mode, dual page layout, and the option to hide the menus, which makes for a perfect distraction-free writing experience.

The free versions of Office for iPhone and iPad are available today.
Enterprise customers will still have to pay as well. However, the company will continue to charge for access to Office on laptops and desktops and will make some features on the mobile apps only accessible to premium users. Office accounts for about a third of Microsoft’s annual revenue, according to the New York Times, so letting people access it for free is a big risk. The move is a big shift for the software giant, which has continually charged for Office even as free productivity apps have proliferated in recent years. Making full use of the apps previously required a subscription to Office 365, which starts at $70 per year. Office users will now be able to create and edit documents in Word, Excel and PowerPoint on iPhone, iPad and Android devices at no cost. Microsoft Office, long the standard-bearer of premium software, is now free on mobile devices, the company announced Thursday.
