Mad I need a better word processor!

Hi guys. I'm having so much troublw with pocket word. When I open a file bigger than 24kb and type in it, the PDA takes a very long time saving it. When it is done, the documnet has a whole bunch of 4s and some of the text is missing. And the rest is scambled. i need help fast. I'm a student that uses my PDa for major notaking and other word processing. Please help.

TextMaker is the best WORD alternative out there. It's pricey, but you can get it from Ebay (from the developer) for a much lower price.

Until then, use Notes.
Hmmm... as an alternative, use the email program. If it will hold >25kB of text, it would also be very convenient to back up your notes by emailing them to yourself. Using a separate email account, of course. Just remember to set messaging to save a copy locally.

You can also use Pocket Notepad - it's free simple and not buggy

You can also try WordComands, which enhances the built-in version of Word. Not TextMaker, but a lot cheaper!
