Productivity - Word Processors (12)

@webfork - The software name is FreeOffice. I think it's obvious that there is a Pro version judging by the name of the program. When using FreeOffice, some upsell will be shown within the interface of the program, so if the user is interested in their enhanced features, they can do so at their own perusal.

This is possibly a greatest (portable) prog-suite. I' using only the portable version. There is a serious problem/bug I1 experienced. After want to save my presentatuons in presentations-maker its failed, and the prog said: it's not possible because it's an illegal (pirate) version of a progam.. The non-portable waersion works flawlessly!(I think, the root of the the problem, that the portable-version put the samples/sablons etc. in different way. And, misfortunately, the portabilizing-process is not work for hunspell dictionaries, but its a minor problem. Thanks!

There is also (with the same architecure) Ashampoo Free Office:

a related, a bit older (2012), but rather compact, full-fledged compatible office suite.
One might need to supply an e-mail (may be temp) to get a product key.
To make it portable one just needs to have a file called "portable.txt" in its folder.

@smaragdus: Thanks ... and updated ;)

The instructions should be updated according to tikbalang's post.

I tried this a week or so ago and wasn't really impressed.
It might be great software but it's just not for me.

One thing I just this second noticed though was a 5MB profile folder in my application data folder under the name Greyfirst.

Maybe I used the wrong settings but it should also be pointed out I think

I've used this software for quite a while. It is specifically for writing screenplays. So if you want to write a script for your short film or a screenplay contest, this software rocks. It is feature rich. Otherwise if you are looking for something browser related, or a word processor, best to look elsewhere.

A more recent and steath release is hosted on wPP site:
X-Celtx 2.9.1
http://www.winpenpack.com/en/download.php?view.759

darkest: Abiword's image support isn't great. I recommend SoftMaker Office (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1463).

Version 2.9.1 is available at sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/AbiWord%20Portable/Additional%20Versions/AbiWordPortableTest_2.9.1.paf.exe/download?_test=crossmerch

Sorry for posting this here.
This website is not really easy to navigate.
I can't find page for submitting notifications of updates or new products. It could be useful to have a direct link for submissions in the home page.

juvera: 2.9.1 is a development test, not a stable release. That's why PortableApps.com has the 2.8.x version listed as primary and then 2.9.x as a test for users to try out. PortableFreeware.com doesn't list development tests.

Yep, but download links still work (not for long?).

This is a fantastic piece of software.
Opens all kinds of documents and some spreadsheets, disassembles CHMs and PDFs and exports PDFs. Besides spell-checking for whatever language one can find dictionaries, its command of tables confers an almost total freedom of layout for one's texts and images.
It accepts a raster image as background of the pages; with pages setup in landscape it allows the creation of PDF presentations!
One may supplement it with tiny Fotografix which supports layers and does gradients; also a smallish spreadsheet like Spread32 under PStart (all in this site) and then one has a portable micro office that fits in the tiniest memory card.

"..the program can import PDF file"

No, it can't/doesn't, under Import, it only has tmd/rft/text/text unicode options only.

This doesn't seem quite ready for prime time yet. The website claims you can change font colors - a good idea, since the default color on my XP machine is dark grey on black. But there doesn't seem to be any way to do this from the menu, and no documentation to help with that.

The mind mapper comes up when I press F7 ... but there are invisilbe icons at the top of the screen (they highlight, but nothing happens.) The 6th icon on that list comes up with an error message: parse error 1,1.

Finally, there's no apparent way to turn off the TRULY annoying typewriter sound with each keypress.

Looking forward to seeing it when it's polished up.

It is possible to configure the Addict spellchecker to some degree by editing the registry.
E.g. with these settings, a 2nd main dictionary ("german_alt.adm") is added.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Angelic Software\AngelWriter\Addict]
"_Main_count"="2"
"_Main_0"="English.adm"
"_Main_1"="german_alt.adm"

In theory, this could be also possible with a file called "Spell.cfg" containing the same strings as the registry. Then again, I couldn't get it to work this way.
As a 2nd note, the exe is packed with UPX and can be unpacked with e.g. FUU (Free Universal Unpacker). In the unpacked exe, you can rename "Times New Roman" to e.g. "Calibri" to change the default font.

It is feasible to "convert" Angel Writer at launch.
The spellcheck dictionaries (Addict type) may be copyed - from other dir - over 'English.adm' and the interface Language might lay near 'English.lng' as referenced in 'AngelWriter.ini'.
A 'Launch.bat' (or maybe a small App "AngelWriterPortable.exe') just have to:
1) Ask the user for the base language;
2) Copy a new 'AngelWriter.ini' (over the old? at home dir) referencing the interface language (already in place) at 'Languages' dir, say 'French.lng';
3) Copy the dictionary (e.g.: French.adm') as 'English.adm' (with that name) into 'Addict' dir, previously empty;
4) Launch 'AngelWriter.exe' as a sub-process;
5) At exit erase what it has copyed.

@NunoSilva: yaP could do it with relative ease IMHO -- please post your findings in the official forum topic to see if any help comes from the community...

download link is broken

The actual QJot web page address- http://xtort.net/xtort-software/qjot/

smaragdus: thanks, updated

One word: abandonware -- wish someone would take it up to iron the tiny niggles it still has... It would then be absolutely perfect!

You can now download a .zip of Q10 from the site & not have to mess around with the .paf file.

Hey, has anybody tried this thing under Win7?
