Sometimes I just want to set my own margins and just type a simple letter, personal or business without fussing about with preset columns or having my cursor thrown about and with issues every which way. Sometimes I just want type writer functionality then save as a pdf or word document. There is a hard learning curve for all the various controls and wonder presets with bothe Office and LibreOffice.

That's what the Windows app "WordPad" was for, and it was great.

Unfortunately Microsoft discontinued it in 2023. But if you can find a copy of the app on an old copy of Windows 11 or any copy of Win10, Win7, etc. it might still do the trick for you.

The later versions could save as Open Document format (.odt) too, in addition to .docx. Very handy.

Reading that, I am nostalgic for WordPerfect. I miss it almost as much as my cats at the Rainbow Bridge.

LibreFffice. Fully free, thank God. Just r. click in a document, hit Paragraph, and see Index and spacings.

Besides, I can even make some nice signs on it.
