The Buzzword Business Letter

20 January, 2009 (20:03) | Buzzword | By: DaveO

I’ve just written a new Buzzword blog on creating beautiful business letters.

I’m going to show you some tricks I use with Buzzword to create really beautiful and professional business letters. Of course, just writing the letter in Buzzword in the first place will help your cause, because unlike Microsoft Word, one of Buzzword’s strongest qualities is what you see is what you print (WYSIWYP). This is true for the layout of your document as well as that indescribably beautiful thing that happens to a document when you run it though Adobe’s rendering engines. It just looks better. Period. But I’m a little off topic now. Let’s take a standard business letter and put Buzzword through its paces.

When writing a business letter, I always use Microsoft Word, and, I want to say, that it is quite good and useful program, but I have never heard about Buzzword, what is the difference between it and Microsoft Word? And where can I try it? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the question, Albina. Buzzword is an online word processor from Adobe Systems, Inc. It is a new kind of word processor with the following capabilities:

it’s free, but you do have to register for it

it’s collaborative – you can invite other people to view, comment or even edit your documents in real-time
it’s not loaded down with six zillion options you will never use
it produces beautiful documents
it’s got a beautiful interface
you can access your documents securely from any computer with internet access

Full disclosure: I work for Adobe and supporting Buzzword is one of my primary job responsibilities. Even so, it rocks.
