Adobe Acrobat & Gliffy - no relationship?
I would think Gliffy is more of an alternative to MS Visio.
Microsoft Office 2007 and iConv - again, no link. Just another
converter IMO.
Live Messenger and Live Web Messenger - LOL. My preferred
alternative to Live Messenger is aMSN. There are others like
Pidgin, Miranda and Trillian.
Anyway, enough of my crap.
Here are some free Wordpad replacement programs. If you have no
need to use a Word program or want something better just plain
text.
TextShield, works on XP
and 2000. Not tested on Vista or Windows 9x or Windows ME.
One glaring bug of this program is the lack of scrollbars. You
have to press the page up/down buttons or arrow buttons to navigate
around the whole document. Irks me enough as my documents are
always long and scrolling using this method is really irritating.
And your mouse scroll button will not work.
Other than that, it works fine. It hasn't been in development as
you can tell from the website... so features are just as it is. If
you need a simple one, this one is good enough.
Next one... Ultra-Pad. This one
works on Vista. Only thing, kindly do not work in skin mode,
because the resolution will be badly screwed up in skinning mode.
Use Windows default skin and the resolution is fine.
Another thing to note if you insist on skinning mode. In Vista,
the whole menu disappears, apparently due to Windows Aero effects.
Just click on the black bar of the program and you will see the
menu.
In skinning mode, the scrollbars are also in weird position.
Your choice.
