One recommendation:

For a really powerful word processor, go get a copy of AppleWriter 2.1 (I
think that's the one currently available).  It's quite possibly the best
word processor ever written for the 8-bit Apple ][ (i.e. //e), and best of
all, it's freely available via FTP from the better Apple II sites.  I
think it is on apple2.caltech.edu in the utils directory.

For more information about how to obtain this and other Apple II software
available on the 'Net, consult the Apple II FAQ files; they were posted
here recently, and they are also available on a World Wide Wait page
someplace; I don't have the URL handy, but I am sure that Nathan does...

Good luck, and welcome to the Apple II world!
