Dumb Mac question

[tripperfunster]

So … is there a basic writing program that comes with a Mac? It seems to come with a whole wack of stuff, like iPhoto, and contacts and some sort of AppleScript Editor … but is there like a Microsoft Word Document type thing? ( obs not Microsoft …)

And/or, what is a program that is free/cheap that is easily shared between Mac and HP users? I want to be able to send stuff for beta without having to import/export it as something else.

If it exists here, I'm not seeing it.

Thanks in advance.

I never bought Pages. I've got the ol' Microsoft Word for Mac running on mine. I had to go with that program because everyone at school used it.

To answer your question, what about using something like 'DOCX Converter', an online tool that lets you export your DOCX file into one of several other formats including DOC format, plain text format, etc.
