You'll be ok on computing power then. But you will need to download a word processor because that's the only practical way to draft your webpage text. Whether you use html or a web page maker, there's a presumption that you'll copy and paste your text sections from a word processor (or perhaps from spreadsheet fields), as the editing capabilities in html text editors, or in webpage makers where you fill in fields, will be very limited. You also need to save your text somewhere that's not in an ephemeral programming tool, and in a version you can use and edit offline when not connected. That again points to a word processor or spreadsheet. Somewhere you can save and edit your own data offline.
Hi Andrew,
A previous poster wrote that I don't need a word processor. You just stated that I do need one. Who is correct?
To be perfectly honest with you, I wasn't planning on putting much text in my website. Once a viewer is beyond the home page, there will be very little, if any, text.

Indeed you don't "need" a word processor though it is rather odd not to have one since good word processors can nowadays be downloaded for free.
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't know that.
My computer is my niece's old computer. When my sister bought this computer back in circa 2007-2008, it was supposed to have a word processor (Microsoft Word). She paid for it, but it didn't have one. At first, she thought it was in the computer. When she realized it wasn't, she thought it was contained on a disk that came with the computer. If such a disk ever existed, she never found it. By the time my sister realized that (a) the computer didn't have a word processor, and (b) there was no disk, it was too late to do anything about it. When she called Dell, they told her that it
had "expired". And, despite the fact that she
had paid for it, there was nothing that anyone could do at that point.
When she gave the computer to me a few years ago, I also tried to rectify the situation. I called both Dell and Microsoft. I was told the same thing, that it
had "expired". So, my sister paid for something that she never got. Now, I am screwed because the computer is mine. I am stuck with a computer with no word processor in it.
Can you provide examples of "
good word processors" that can be downloaded for free?
Thank you.
