Looking for a word processor on the go? Need access to .doc files on a PC that doesn't have OpenOffice.org or Word? Forget about installing anything. A fully functional word processor is just six seconds away...
ajaxWrite is a web app that has the look and feel of a typical word processor with all the usual functions squeezed into just 400Kb, making it responsive even on older machines. And it's not tied to any particular operating system — Mac, Windows or Linux, it makes no odds.
Documents can be read in a variety of formats (Word, Works, Word Perfect, OpenOffice, StarOffice, etc) and saved as either Word, OpenOffice, RTF, text or PDF documents.
And did I mention it's completely free?
There's only one catch; you've got to use Firefox. And at least version 1.5. Like that's any sort of imposition!

I've fixed that link, Matt. If you still have trouble just type www.ajaxwrite.com in the URL window.

Hi there
The AjaxWrite link (http://blogs.pcworld.co.nz/pcworld/tux-love/www.ajaxwrite.com) doesn't work. Have you another link?

I saw a comment from someone that tried ajaxWrite; and he thought using the Gmail editor was easier. You can save your "document" in Drafts, it doesn't have to be sent as an email.
