Is the word "dynamic" so high-brow?

I wouldn't entirely say that I couldn't fault the GIMP, and it has its detractors - but it's certainly a fantastic piece of software (especially since it's free). Download it and play a round with it for a while, and you stop noticing its peculiarities - which are mainly just the layout of the windows.

Or there is http://www.getpaint.net - again, free, and more straightforward to use than GIMP - but it's a bit more limited in what you can do with it.

"Is the word "dynamic" so high-brow?"

I don't know. As a writer, I tend to concentrate on the words I know. I don't know that one. It sounds like it has parts to it and possibly a style manual.

Ah. I thought writers enjoyed learning new words to use. My mistake, I shall attempt never to use something that's not already in your vocabulary again

The list will be forthcoming under separate cover.

Thanks for the advice and tips, I will look out for open office.

Make sure you get a precompiled version! And don't add too many dictionaries, it slows it down.

Thanks
