Microsoft Word

Is Microsoft Word for the pocket pc just like Notepad or is it more advanced than that

[blatty]

It's a scaled down version of Word, but more features than notepad.

(ie; text formatting)

I suppose WordPad might be the closest in terms of functionality, although Pocket Word actually supports the DOC format.

Other than that, the two are fairly close.

would u suggest getting a keyboard??

Depends on if you think you'd use it. If so, you'll have to chose between a thumb pad and a full keyboard....

how fast is your typing speed? that might affcet which one to get... poeple can get pretty fast on thumboards... about half their normal typing speed.

There are a few options for you:

http://www.fitaly.com -- a fully customizable ergonomically optimal tap keyboard, I can type about ~45 with this, I can type about ~110 with a foldable, I hvaen't actually used a thumboard, but it is pretty similar to FITALY in terms of speeds I believe

Pocket Wrod is basically a rich-text editor, with a few extra features like zoom, drawings, and support for Rich Ink and Audio embedding.

It also support paragraph indenting (enter a value for first line, hanging, and left and right indent) It also has basic list functionality.

However, if you want a word processor with about Word 95 or 97 functionality, customizable hotkeys, customizable toolbars, full text maniupulation a million and one ways, and losless integration with even the most advanced docs, http://www.softmaker.com, get Text Maker.
