Sometimes it seems like there's no decent middle ground between pricey, bloated, overly-complex word processing apps and weak, underpowered text editors. Wrong! PolyEdit is an award-winning word processor that delivers all of the benefits of a big-name software app, but does it faster, leaner, and with a smaller memory footprint.
PolyEdit brings a ton of functionality to the table. Use it as your everyday word processor, or break it out for editing source code and HTML - you can even use PolyEdit as a personal information manager! As you get deeper and deeper into the functionality of PolyEdit, you'll find yourself uninstalling all of those other programs because you simply won't need them anymore. Just imagine the disk space you'll get back!
As a word processor, PolyEdit provides you with all of the formatting and editing functions that you're used to, including search and replace, copy/paste, multiple level undo/redo, drag and drop editing, and more. There's full support for OLE objects, multiple character sets, and Unicode. PolyEdit is fully compatible with Microsoft Word, and can open documents in RTF, MS Word 95-2007, MS Excel 97-2003, and Corel WordPerfect formats, among many others.

- “I had begun to think of PolyEdit as my word processor of choice. I write for a living, and I want a tabbed word processor that will open fast, run fast, not freeze (as does MS Word and the other "monster" word processors I have), and basically just do a good job. I get that from PolyEdit, every time I sit down to work. I love it and appreciate all you've done to perfect this great software program!”- Loren Whitaker
- “I actually prefer PolyEdit, because of its small size and fast loading. I truly appreciate your efforts in making this program so versatile.”- Beldar Conehead
- “A lot of my work is typing technical documents so I need simplicity, tidiness and formatting abilities rather than all the fancy stuff in MS Word. PolyEdit has plenty of features to keep me happy without the clutter.”- Ian Williamson
- “I've been looking for a word processor or text editor that's leaner, smaller, and less top-heavy than Word, and PolyEdit comes pretty close. I'm an admirer of well-designed software, and PolyEdit is one of the few shareware word processors I've seen that is designed the right way. I like the feel of the program because it's sort of a super-text-editor and light-word-processor. Text editors that are too limited give me a headache because they're confining, whereas Word gives me a headache because it's become almost laughably bloated. Word is not a great tool for writing. It's probably a great tool for mail merge or macro-writing, etc., but most people use word processors for writing, and it does so much at this point it's becoming unwieldy for composing text. Most programmers feel compelled to either make a program a text editor (i.e. no font capability) or a word processor. PolyEdit is nice in that it has capabilities of both: fonts, as well as the text-conversion utilities most people associate with text editors.”- Dan Spalt
- “This word processor provides the kind of flexibility we rarely see in Windows applications. This is the electronic version of a real notebook, interacting with a real person in a real environment. You can write on one page, write on another page, flip back the page (with the tabs), tear out a page and put it next to another page (with the easy and intuitive docking), throw away a page (with the touch of a button, although I admit you don't get the satisfying crumple of paper and NBA practice of shooting free throws in the wastebasket), reach over and turn on the stereo without thinking too hard about it (as I point out in the tips and tricks), all combined with the typical computer magic of dragging and dropping, copying and pasting, etc.I have also found PolyEdit to be the first word processor I've ever tried that isn't dreadfully dull. I know Microsoft tried to liven things up with that stupid paperclip, once upon a time, but, as is typical with Microsoft and its imitators, the attempt was all surface. PolyEdit, on the other hand, once you start getting the swing of its mold-breaking tools and interface, is as addictive as a video game, but without the distraction and loss of productivity.”- Carson Fire
- “Within minutes of test driving PolyEdit my jaw dropped. I was awe-struck. At long last, I'd found what I was looking for and knew I could use PolyEdit for all my work - be it writing articles, business correspondence, publishing e-zines, writing sales letters and building web pages.”- John Shreeve
- “Such an excellent program. I have practically replaced all of my word processing programs with this one. Excellent layout and professionally written. Keep up the outstanding work on such a fine AWP (alternative word processor).”- Mark Sapp
