List of Word Processors (Page 1 of 2) Bob Hawes copied this list from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_word_processors. He added six additional programs, and relocated the Freeware section so that it directly follows the FOSS section. This way, most of the software on page 1 is free, and most of the software on page 2 is not. Bob then used page 1 as the basis for his April 15, 2011 presentation Free Word Processors.
