<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Thanks to everyone who
responded to my question re free collocate cloud tools. Here is a summary:<br>
<br>
Barbara Plank, Lynne Flowerdew, Loic Barrault and Eric Atwell suggested <a
href="http://www.wordle.net/">http://www.wordle.net/</a> - works with text and,
in the advanced mode, with weighted frequencies. It's very easy to use.<br>

David Beaven said word clouds can be extracted from the the BNC and the
Scottish corpus using:<br>
