If you decide to buy a program, WordPerfect has the best, and it’s on sale often at frys.com.
But you can bing a search for WordPerfect x3 or x4 or the latest (x7) and get it from a vendor for next to nothing.
It comes with a license for three machines.
WordPerfect was the template for the best word processors, and I think it’s still the best.
Good luck.
I use to use WP and thought it was much better than Word. At one point my new employer used Word and it seemed WP was lossing it’s visibility so I just shifted. I did not know it was still available.
