If you want to write an essay and don't want to pay for Micrsoft Office use this stuff.

If you want to write an essay and don't have Microsoft word on your computer or used up the trial that came with your computer. Their are a few options you can use OpenOffice.org it is just like office except if you want to open your work in Microsoft office at school or a computer at work you  must go to file save as word format. If you do not do that you will not be able to open it on a computer with office. If you do not need all the stuff with office and just need a word writer then you could use AbiWord it just a writer nothing more.
