First, OneNote is a Microsoft product and is not free. Evernote doesn't seem to be free either. OpenOffice is free but it might be too complicated for you even though there are many grandmas using it. I know because several of them help out in this support group answering questions the callow youths are too thick to work out for themselves - no common sense these days! Just to prove the point, even though I'm not a grandma, I did have my first e-mail address in 1979. It depends on what you want to do. Windows comes with Wordpad which is a simple program for creating documents that can be quite pretty. It can easily be used for note taking. Wordpad documents can easily be printed and attached to e-mails that most people will be able to open. You can find Wordpad via Start>All Programs>Accessories>Wordpad. OpenOffice is a complete "office suite". Even though it's completely free it competes quite happily with Microsoft Office. If you are interested you can read about it by going to www.openoffice.org and then clicking on "I want to learn more about OpenOffice.org". -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
