Mmmm , wondering what most people use then to type a letter and print off , I found Wordpad perfect .

For basic letters, wordpad would be fine and would meet a lot of end user requirements. But if you need something with a bit more features, then a "proper" word processor would/should do a better job. I'm using LibreOffice.

... and worth mentioning that LibreOffice is FREE

In my experience as an academic*, pukka publishers and journals much prefer manuscripts in Word.
