- Writing Software/Tools -

OpenOffice
Don't have word? Powerpoint? or Excel? This open source bundle is all you will need. It can save in windows word format, read powerpoints and much more.

Notepad++
For coding, Notepad++ works wonders.
Works with a ton of languages.

Celtx
This is the program I use for writing all of my (dialogue) scripts - games, plays, or films. There's also a graphic novel setting.
Makes formatting very easy. AV or Screen formats are best for games.

Storybook

Adobe Story
Adobe Story is great for script writing. You can work online or offline, and you can collaborate with your projects, and you can even export to PDF, XML, CSV, TXT, Microsoft Word, or Movie Magic Scheduling.

yWriter

RoughDraft

AbiWord

Text Block Writer

TypeWith.me/

Go ahead - send the link to this page to a friend, colleague, or co-worker and watch the magic unfold!

GoogleDocs
Similar to Typewith.me - I use this regularly for writing works that I need to access and edit from different computers/locations. It also supports multi-user with synchronizing writing and such. Very useful! (Submitted by Stern.)
