Does anyone have a recommendation regarding a free word/safe word processing program?

I looked online and saw several recs, but I wanted to see if anyone here had any input. I have used Open Office in the past, but I see that it is kind of a dinosaur.

Is there some feature(s) OpenOffice doesn't have? If not ... who cares how old it is?

I'm on the latest build of Windows 10 and I use the spreadsheet program very regularly. Still works great.

free word/safe word

and the second

processing program

Lol, I was curious why someone wouldn't be able to come up with a safe word without using a "processing program" but gotta admit I don't know much about bdsm.

That sucks about your flooding and no sleep, sorry to hear.
