Kingsoft Writer Free 2012 v.8.1.0.3008 Advertisement As part of the Kingsoft Office Suite 2012, Kingsoft Writer 2012 is a powerful and user-friendly word processing program. Kingsoft Office Suite Free 2012 is an alternative to Microsoft Office that offers three flagship tools for free: a text editor, a spreadsheet editor, and power point presentation creator. None of the three tools will be unfamiliar to regular users of Microsoft Office, since the interface has been pretty much replicated in all three cases.

One thing that makes Kingsoft Writer Free a perfect companion in your daily working life is the fact that it is fully compatible with the current word processing standard: Microsoft Office files like .doc, .docx and .txt files. Kingsoft's product also fully supports the addition and positioning of clipart and other images within documents.
As any self-respecting word processing would do, Kingsoft Writer Free includes a spell-check feature and does a pretty good job, at least in English.
Overall, a very familiar layout with extremely easily recognizable icons. And the blue/white square 'W' icon? Looks like something else I'm used to seeing :)

dotTech Advice
Kingsoft Software is a fairly new company that has appeared on the scene offering a mix of freeware and shareware products. In this situation, the product in question is Kingsoft’s office suites. Kingsoft offers three office software: Kingsoft Office Suite Free (freeware), Kingsoft Office Suite Standard ($49.95), and Kingsoft Office Suite Professional ($69.95). Each of these office suites has a word processor (Writer), a spreadsheet program (Spreadsheets), and a PowerPoint presentation program (Presentations), with the features varying slightly between each version of the suite.
The program being offered for free in this article is Kingsoft Writer Professional, the Writer that usually comes bundled with Kingsoft Office Suite Professional. There are plenty of word processors out there, all of which serve well for basic word processing and Kingsoft Writer Professional is no different. The key to a word processor is seeing how compatible it is with Microsoft Word because, frankly speaking, Word dominates the world regardless of how many cheaper alternatives popup. I tested a few Word documents in Kingsoft Writer Professional and it does fairly well in reading and editing .DOC/.DOCX files. Take note, however, Kingsoft Writer Professional can read .DOCX but it can’t save as .DOCX — it can save as .DOC.
That said, if you are reading this then it is safe to assume you don’t have or want Microsoft Office. As such, you are looking for an alternative to Microsoft Office, Microsoft Word in particular. The million dollar question is which alternative office suite you should use. When asked this question I always recommend OpenOffice, an open source freeware office suite which has gained a lot of popularity in the past few years. OpenOffice is the best alternative to Microsoft naysayers; OpenOffice is stable, feature filled, works (generally) well with Microsoft Office files, and has significant public support with OpenOffice formats becoming the second most common formats after Microsoft Office. So as good as Kingsoft Writer Professional may be, it doesn’t really offer anything significant that OpenOffice Writer doesn’t already deliver (although it should be mentioned, Kingsoft Writer Professional does an excellent job in mimicking Microsoft Word’s look — you can use ribbons or traditional menus with Kingsoft Writer Professional). OpenOffice will always be the leading alternative to Microsoft Office. If you are looking for an alternative to Microsoft Word, you are more than welcome to give Kingsoft Writer Professional a try (Kingsoft Writer Professional is a very good word processor), but my suggestion would be give OpenOffice Writer a chance first.
