They have even been know to cost smackeroos. I usually just open Notepad to strip the code from something I've cut, but would probably still use Word (at work) or Open Office Writer (at home) if I wanted to get more sophisticated..but my great joy is that I'm using both less and less these days. Given the alternatives, to get me to part with my hard earned bucks these days, a wordprocessing program would have to do a minimum of one day's child care AND vacuum the entire house every week.

If you find yourself doing that all the time, you might want a more fully-featured text editor than Notepad (can notepad still only have one document open at a time?). I use TextWrangler on the Mac. Crimson Editor is something I have used on the PC, but there may be better options (especially if, unlike me, you are willing to shell out a few bucks. Do you call dollars "bucks" in Australia?).
