Openoffice, from openoffice.org, is a full -FREE- office suite that can read and write to MS Office format as well as WP format, and several others. Among its many tricks, it can make PDFs, including ones that contain hyperlinks inside them. I used it to make my 'Mosquito Science Fiction setting' book - a 75 page PDF with internal and external links, images, and so on. If I can make that, you can easily make a small readme. :)

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
