Can anyone suggest a simple word processor. Kingsoft looks good & it's come up in a previous post but I don't really want the spreadsheet & presentation functions it includes.
-
What do you want the app to do? Just quick notes? Long essays?

I'm using Jota text editor. No fonts or fancy formatting, fine for one finger typing.
-
I use DroidEdit for text stuff and syntax highlighting coding.

Thanks for you response guys, I'm looking for an app that will allow me to draft short docs such as letters etc. It'd have to be capable of being transferred from my N7 to my PC for me to pick up in MS Word.

If you want something functional with MS than you will need a full office app like king soft as far as I know. You could also use Google drive.

Look into QuickOffice.

I use Quick Office pro HD and Office Suite Pro.
I am wondering why you are upset that KS includes spreadsheets and other possibilities. Are you forced to use them? I have never used the app but I don't understand why it wouldn't have a basic word editor.

That's kind of what I was thinking. I like office suite pro and Polaris. They all get the job done though.

Thanks again for the feedback & advice. It looks like I need to use an office suite & Kingsoft has a good reputation so I'll try that one.
-
Before I started using a suite, I used Note Everything (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.softxperience.android.noteeverything&feature=search_result). Another good alternative is Evernote (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evernote&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ldmVybm90ZSJd) because your notes are synced with all your machines.
-
Try Catch and/or AK Notepad. Notepad updates to Catch which you can run on PC. has tags, lots of other goodies. I use AK with the microphone icon to dictate short notes to myself and to add to my running journal. :)
-
Go for google docs and then you have no backup problems and it syncs to any other computer you have
-
you can now get Kingsoft Office free for your Windows PC included as "Foxit Office Suite"

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/07/ba8y3anu.jpg)Did KingSoft work out for you? I am tempted to download it cause its free just to check out for knowledge but the two I mentioned earlier have covered all the bases for me so far. I bought office Pro when it was on sale for 25 cents.I seem to remember an earlier post with someone having all kinds of problems with King Soft trying to sync with the PC. I know a 10 dollar app can seem expensive but its a one time investment and is an important one for me. Office Suite HD has worked out very well.

sorry, bjs, I don't know. I use the app on Android like one or two times a month and have an older Office 2003 version that I use regularly on my desktop, and also use LibreOffice / OpenOffice when I get an incompatible xlsl or Doc file from an external source.
But in reality with all these kinds of applications, the one you already know how to use is without price, compared to the hours needed to learn a new app.
I posted the info on that basis - if you know, use, know well, and are happy with Kingsoft, then it makes sense to use the now available PC port...otherwise, YMMV
nuff said.
