Anyone know of a program that could be downloaded and used for free without a lot of space having to be eaten up on the hard drive? Free is the key hehehe, I made a rhyme!

If your after a professional quality, sometimes its best to pay, but if you don't need quite that fancy, gimp http://www.gimp.org/ or openoffice http://www.openoffice.org/ might do what he needs to.

No need to install or download software; you just download the app. or the document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I would go with Patriot's suggestion of using open office, then using a flyer template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Open Office is a good option. There is also Libre Office, which split from the original Open Office and is a bit more refined, IMHO. (It's what I use on my machines.) Both office suites will read Microsoft Office documents, and there are plenty of template resources also. Here's a comparison of Libre Office & the MS version: http://www.dedoimedo...oft-office.html Libre Office Site: http://www.libreoffice.org/default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get him to check out the Microsoft.com and the other suggestions. Open office is what I have and it is a pretty big download for the internet situation we are in. Thanks again everyone God bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've got a laptop the wireless access at McDonald's or a coffee shop will be faster than dial up. There's also the option of getting permission at work or the library, etc. to download the software to a USB drive using the faster connection first, then take that and install it on the destination system. As far as big files go, do what I did when I was on dial up. Start the download at night before I went to bed and it would be done in the morning when I got up.
