Question I want to set myself up as a freelance online copy editor. Basically, I'll be correcting things like academic papers. Is there any text editing software available? It would have to be a professional version with a standardized template and proofreader's symbols. If there's a (preferably free) downloadable version out there, then even better. A google search brought up WebKorr 1.6c. Would you recommend this one? Hope you can help.
Answer Well when speaking of text editing I keep thinking of Microsoft Word. I'm not sure if this type of program is what you need for your applications. It is rather expensive though that is a drawback to it....but it does a great job with documents.
There is a free program very similar to MS Office called Open Office.
It also does a really good job ,you can get it at www.openoffice.org.
I hope those are the types of software you need and that this answers your question.
