AjaxWrite is a superb demonstration what Ajax can do. Ajax, which stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML is a web development technique for creating interactive websites. AjaxWrite offers the basic functionality of programs like Microsoft Word and OpenOffice for free on the web. No need to purchase, download or install anything. Open the website and you´re ready to go. The only requirement is firefox 1.5 or newer, the operating system itself does not matter.
The application is able to load and save Microsoft Word, OpenOffice and many other text formats. The website itself is imitating the look of your favorite word processing software with all the standard options available as well. (for instance different fonts, paragraphs aso.). This is also great if you are in dire need of converting a file into a different format, for example .doc into .txt format. Give it a try, its great.

I am a user of AJAXwrite and I like it. But… I don’t like it when you print something directly from there. It just looks like a print screen. It is always better to save it and then open it in Word and then print out.
Another but – I initially used it because I didn’t have access to Word at the time, but the lack of a decent print out put me off.
I also use Zoho: http://www.zohowriter.com/
(You can’t save your doc on the website with ajaxwrite, but you can with Zoho.)
I thought you might want to mention that Ajaxwrite is owned by the people who put out linspire.
Some people don’t like linspire.
I read it´s by the same people that owned mp3.com ? not sure if that is correct though.
