That is probably the most important thing, I suspect you already have a
copy of a Word Proceesor already, it will almost certainly have the
ability to export in RTF (Rich Text) which virtually any Word processor
will read, I would be astonished if WP didn't.  It preserves the
majority of the formatting and it would probably need only minor
re-working on the PC (mostly to do with fonts I expect).  Also many
programs can export in WP format, see what options your word processor
has available.

If when you buy it, specifically state what you need it for you should
be protected under consumer law. The sale of goods act 1979 states that
any goods sold must be of satifactory quality and be suitable for any
purpose specified by the buyer.
