Scribus
Scribus offers up a freeware desktop publisher that lacks the polish
of more popular, pay-for-use programs. What it lacks in pretty design,
though, it more than makes up for with a full complement of useful
features that compare very favorably against more expensive
competition. The detailed Web site includes a wealth of
documentation, tutorials (some with video), and notes on everything
from installation problems to drawing a grid to creating a text frame.
We found it an invaluable resource when testing the application. There
wasn't much jazz to the interface, but all the major beats were
present: buttons were laid out logically and grouped according to
function, without any unusual placement. download

Jarte Free Word Processor
 The first thing users of this freeware WordPad/Notepad replacement
will notice is the unusual interface. Jarte actually uses a simple
layout, with a default brushed-metal skin and mouse-over icons that
reveal standard Menu bar drop-down menus. Just the mere fact of having something different to look at
is appealing, and generally it works well. The icons are a bit small,
and there's a fair bit of empty space around them so they look somewhat
bereft of context. It turns out Jarte has two other interface
schemes. One is an expanded "classic" layout, while the other is a
minimalist and familiar Menubar. Behind these different approaches lies
many familiar writing and note-taking tools bolstered by small tweaks
that make Jarte's appeal obvious. download
Stickies
Stickies is a PC utility written to replace Post-It-style notes left
stuck to your monitor. The design goal behind Stickies is that the
program is small and simple. Stickies will not mess with your system
files, or write to the Registry. Stickies stores all information in a
single text-based INI file. Stickies will never support animated
dancing figures, or play "Greensleeves". They are instead yellow
rectangular windows onto which you can put some text notes. Once
created, they will stay on screen until you take them away. Just like a
real sticky piece of paper. download
