This postI heard about Adobe Buzzword a few weeks ago but the registration wasn’t working. Came across it again tonight and wow, this is pretty dang sweet:
That’s in a web browser, folks. It’s Flash-based word processing, and it actually works. I dabbled around with it a bit and found it to be quite responsive and smooth. I love the feel. And they include beautiful fonts like Minion Pro and Myriad Pro — mmm. :)
The one downside that I’ve noticed is that when I previewed the print job, it wasn’t as sharp as it should’ve been — it looks like they print by exporting to a somewhat low-res image. But that may have just been a fluke.
It’s exciting to see things like this happening, especially because Google Docs just doesn’t work when you’re trying to get a specific format (since you can’t see the page as a page). I don’t know if I’m quite ready to ditch Google Docs (and not every computer I use will have the right version of Flash, although eventually they will), but wow, this is cool.
